Towering Q,
Question for you......
The way your question read, it sounds as if you always landed with two stapes of flap. Therefore my question is:
Why do aircraft have flaps? Think only practically?
A landing that does not use ALL the flap available is a waste! We practice flapless landings and half flap landings during training for ONE reason, and ONE only. BECAUSE THE FLAP MIGHT FAIL ON US, not because it is EASIER. If it were designed so that the aircraft was easier to land with, as you say two stages, then the other stage is used for what????
Some food for thought.
