If it has PW -7J engines, a good EPR around the landing pattern and on the approach is 1.08. If RR D4 engines, 1.18. Have never flown with GE engines so cannot help there.

Flap retraction and extension schedules are complex. Basically, you retract the flaps in stages in increments of 20 KIAS above V2 (flaps 20 - 10 at +20 kts, 10 - 5 at +40 kts, 5 - 1 at +60 kts and 1 - 0 at +80 kts). The min speed for each flap setting is based on Vref (flaps 0 at +80 kts, 1 at +60 kts, 5 at +40 kts, 10 at +20 kts).

Good luck, its a great aircraft.
