Thumbs up

When my landing weight is quite light, runway lenght and condition permitting, I use Flaps 20 for approach and landing instead of the regular Full Flaps.

It's in our SOP, save time and money and since I can approach 10-20 knots faster using that technique, I feel more in harmony with the flow. The option of going Full Flaps is always there if ATC wanted it for whatever reason.
