Re: Gliding Heavies
Boac : we use did it with the APU connected,so electric hydraulic pump on ,or without the APU.
Blip: from our sim experiences,the best way to do it is with flaps up.Flaps up speed,let's say 210 kts,will be aprox 1,6 stall speed .So ,you'll have a stall speed around 130 kts,very easy to manage during landing.
No need for flaps,mostly due to the problems that you've mentioned before ,Blip.
