Flaps is something to be used with caution...
alot of drag if you don't notice the indicator you will get quite alarmed if they should suddenly deploy.
Why isn't there a radio altimeter connected to the gear so controllers would'nt have to ask if you are "all greens?"
ex:
plane spec.:
speed at flare - 120.
max speed w flaps full(landing config) - 128.
stall flaps full - 105
stall flaps 50% - 123.
Now imagine a slightly seedy approachand perhaps a bad flare and the speed does/t drop, it even reaches 130 for a few seconds....
this is where you find out if you can actually shake worse than a stick shaker.....
