Retracting Flaps
Retracting flaps.....on final. Never done it. Never ever even suggested it.
But looking at V speeds and suchlike, I wonder if in an engine out forced landing, when one already had flaps out to some extent, what would happen if one retracted them? Assuming of course you were over stalling speed.
Would your glide flatten out? Would you fall out of the sky?
In other words, if you screw up a glide approach by dumping too much flap, what happens if you realise the error of your ways and decide to pull some up?
caution This does not appear to be part of the PPL syllabus.
Thanking youse in advance for an answer to this silly question.
