C172 Take-Off Flap
Probably a dull question (only dull question is one you don't ask blah blah blah) but why do Cessna recommend a flapless take-off? Using 10 deg flap would, for example, reduce take-off speed, ground roll, tyre wear etc. Is the aim of 0 deg flap to reduce drift on take-off? Don't wish to die in a ditch over this and if I've missed the flamingly obvious I'd prefer the ritual humiliation in a quiet, dark place. Thanks
