And that VFE of 71KIAS is for 2nd stage flap. You can go a bit faster on 1st stage (useful at busy fields to keep the speed up to short final, then reduce to the higher VFE for first stage flap, 71 for full flap, then stabilise trimmed at 60). Don't exceed either VFE - the cables are quite thin and if one snaps you'll get asymettric flap deployment.

Nice interiror, by the way.
