My bolding above.

No the FCTM does not state "immediately". Well, not that I can find in the one I've got.


Mine doesn't state whether to do it "immediately" or to wait until the flap has made it to the selected position before dialling in the command speed. To me it seems open to do it whichever way you'd prefer. I would prefer to see the flap indicator needles start moving before I bug the speed back; I guess that's almost "immediately" though.
