On our typical 8-sector day (flying the lowly Dash-8
), part of the After-Landing checklist is to set the flaps to the takeoff setting for the next departure (it is checked again on the subsequent After-Start). This serves to save unneeded cycles on the Flap Power Unit, and double-assures that the flaps will be set properly for the field length of the next takeoff, as we operate into a combination of short and longer runways on any given day. Ice is not a factor in our area of the world, and the high wing keeps the flaps out of the way of potential FOD.
