Bobrun,

Does the flight manual actually say that Vyse ** is obtained with flaps 10 ** ?

Or perhaps that Vyse ** with flaps 10 ** is 80 kias?

Certainly it’s common for the manufacture’s go-around/missed approach procedures to be flown with some flap/slat, since immediately retracting them has it’s pitfalls.
And certification approach climb requirements are done with slats/flaps in the approach configuration. Frankly, I’ve never heard of selecting flap on any aircraft in order to get better sustained climb rate or angle.

As per Newcrew’s question, is it just me, or are there others out there who question this?
