Flaps in a turn

[dynamite dean]

I had 14 different flying instructors two countries (UK as well) 4 years to finish off my PPL (long story). Some said use Carb heat on Downwind, on final , not on final, Flaps on base, one stage on downwind and so it went on bla bla...everyone had an opinion almost to the point that making the point was lost in making of the point! And it never stops further up the ladder. Someone will always have the worse case scenario as well. Just be practicle and logical in your decision making. I use to teach 1700rpm flap 20 2/1/2 turns on the trim wheel on base wings level .There will be on occasion you may need to deploy flap in a turn or not for whatever the millions of what 'ifs' Chill out enjoy your circuit training take your time roll wings level select your flap for what you gain by waiting 10 secs - Oh look and now Im at it giving my opinion!
