Flapless take-offs

Now retired, I recall OCCASIONALLY using a 0° flap setting for take-off in turboprops, notably NAMCO YS11A and Saab 340 types.

ONLY when using 3000 metre runways with no obstacles and at very light take-off weights.

Neither of these aircraft were equipped with a T/O configuration alarm.
