No actually I was just out the door to fly 6 sectors everyone of which I put the flaps down in the turn. Infact 3 of them I did it twice once turning base and once turning finals.
Better write to the daily mail 120 pax in near death experience.
Its not a hole. Its a personal opinion for a personal preference. With no related science or statistics to back it up.
Go and find one accident report of asymmetric flap deployment which still involves both wings being attached in GA. Then we can discuss if its a hole in a bit of cheese or not.
piper its not anything special its FI's that don't have a clue what they are talking about and mostly don't have the handling skills themselves to deal with the trim change in the turn. There is a full range of bollocks excuses why you shouldn't do it. None of which carry any great weight.
If they just said sorry but I prefer if you deploy flaps with wings level because I am a bit pants at handling and can't do it myself I would have more respect for them.
