Of course flapless landings are a non event. I teach them. It's the following comment that I had issue with:
I admit that I rarely check my flaps pre flight. When questioned by copilots, I ask them what they would do if the flaps didn't retract. Cancel the flight?
Firstly - rarely checking a flight control surface is gash.
Secondly - if the flaps don't retract, there is a problem. Do you really want to mess with safety? Let me get this straight, you are condoning not checking flaps as per POH by lowering them fully just incase they don't raise again and you can't fly?
You're personal aircraft I assume you fly your family in?
