KLOS, there are many occasions when an aircraft may be flown using a non-standard `configuration`; frinstance,a flap or slat problem ,and the aircraft is at an airport that has inadequate/no engineering facilities.The crew get permission from their operating authority/Aviation Authority/Manufacturer,if necessary, to ferry the aircraft in that condition,having worked out the necessary performance for take-off/landing/diversion.Obviously passengers would not be carried...happens every day...
If your car won`t start correctly,what do you do..? call the garage,mech comes to fix..if not it`s towed away..
