Flaps issue

Backpacker - many thanks for your advice. i think is proabbly what most pilots would say. I have indeed been taught to take up land flap and only use t/o flap when on teh t/o part of a T&G - makes perfect sense (and easier as the aircraft is not so sluggish and the angle of climb less shallow...I seem to be virtually skimming the hedge at the end of one of our runways when I t/o using full flap!)

However, since I had a CFI check, he said that it was perfectly ok to take off with full flap on a t&g - it measn there is less work required during the ground roll. However, I ahev never really had any issues with this and when I ahev done three solo T&Gs, I brought land flap up to use just t/o flap and was fine.

Go-Arounds aren't a problem to me....nose up, full power, t/o flap...and I've done a few!!!!
