The overhead panel photo in Machinbird`s post shows that there are no detents for intermediate flap selections. Accordingly selection appears to be reliant on visual confirmation of setting. So in terms of speculation, Machinbird`s would seem credible. Kulverstukas had earlier told us that the gear lights were located on the instrument panel. So in the visual, head down scan these will be easy to confirm. Is there anything similar for the flaps. Could someone with knowledge of the aircraft please offer some comment about the white band and the rider above it on the left side of the flap selector shown in the photo.
