Left hand overhead panel, under GPWS switches , always set LDG FLAP 3 Off! Why ? Makes little sense to me ? Spurious warnings ? Parking ?
Any ideas ?
When it comes to reading and understanding the question, the majority of replies in this thread worries me.
The question is, why do we select LDG FLAP 3 off after landing/on parking? OFF is the key word here. Remember the push button is ON.
The answer is simple. Dark cockpit philosophy and simplifying the preflight for the next crew/turnaround.
