Question For The Experts - Use Of Flaps.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

When you needed to get down, that was the way to do it. Admittedly, it's not always necessary, but when you need to use it, you need to know how -and don't try to overshoot from that configuration either.

RS, I was with you until that sentence!

What is the problem with overshooting with 40o flap? You just have to "fly" the aeroplane - yes, it does take a bit of muscle initially to keep the nose where it should be until you get some flap off - but it is easily done and should be routine for anyone flying those models of C172.
