Boeing's definition of Optimum Flap
Hello all,
Been trying to get my head around Boeing's definition of Optimum Flap for take off, specifically on the 737NG.
Spent some time playing with the BLT (Boeing Laptop Tool) to get a feel for the numbers, and have also been reading the Flight Crew Training and Operation manuals.
Am I correct in saying that in Boeing's definition an Optimum Flap take off is the one that wil give the highest assumed temperature and therefore the lowest N1 as the only determining factor in selecting flap setting (assuming other limitations like Vmca etc are met)? Or is there more to it?
Cheers
Gerard
