Just two points if I may and I've been off the aircraft so my memory may be failing me!
- If you end up landing in direct law, the position of the flap lever isn't going to make much difference to the handling qualities.
- As I remember it, Vmax (barbers pole) displayed on the PFD is a function of flap lever position rather than actual flap position. With a clean aircraft would you really leave Vmax at 185kt for Flap 3....
