Hi,
Lyman
"No, above all do not extend...."
Again .. a translation difficulty

In french he tell:
"non surtout ne ne les sors pas"
In french you can use "sors" for the action of extend flaps or deploy spoilers or extend gear or pulling a rabbit out a hat or take a walk
Je sors les flaps
Je sors les aérofreins (spoilers)
Je sors le train d'atterrissage (I extend the landing gear)
The word (verb) "sortir" can be used for various actions and its meaning depends on the context in which it is used
