Making a note.

IT was not very long ago that I heard of asymmetric flap. This was in reference to a PA-28.

Ever since that mention I keep that in mind and mention never to use flaps whilst turning. Only straight-level or descending etc.

IF there is even a 0.01% chance of it happening. What's wrong with abiding by that logic?


I could look at this end, student selects one stage of flap whilst turning, aircraft settles but he is unaware that only one side has gone down, he then selects one more stage. Now 2 stages of flap on up going wing.


What will then occur and would he not have noticed it more if he had been level and straight etc?

And will they all react the same way? *Probably not*

I teach the same method on all aircraft irrespective of design and can't find a problem in doing so.
