Flapless landing...............no big deal!
Actually it IS quite a big deal. Very fast approach speeds and a/c difficult to land accurately as it is easy to balloon during the flare due to the high speeds, if you float at 200kts it’s amazing how much runway you can use. On my first attempt I seem to remember using the entire runway (simulated of course) at Manchester to get a 737 stopped. If it's just trailing edge that are stuck then it's not such a problem, the slats make a massive difference.
