B737NG Flaps 25 take-off
I have only flown the B737Classic (max take-off flap 15), I can see from Boeing software and 737 FCTM that Flaps 25 is a certified take-off flap setting. Now I am wondering for a short runway in a -800 or -900, how is the Obstacle Clearance at flaps 25? Dismal?
My thought is that this flap setting will only work on a short runway with little or no obstacles, and probably not at all in a mountainous area?
Anyone with experience care to comment?
