717 Flap retraction
As an ATPL and someone who travels on 717's regulary I am curious to know why landing flap (leading and trailing)is not retracted until the aircraft almost comes to a stop on the bay.

Flap 25 ( which gives full LEDs ) is the flap setting for evac so the pax can slide down the wing onto the flap and onto the grd with minimal damage.
Of course, real aeroplanes have o/wing slides.................................... ( ducks for cover ) ;) |
Nice try Cunning. Flap 18 is left out until almost parked to provide FOD protection for the super hairdryers, less they get damaged and blow up later on...

18, 25, wots 7 degrees between friends.
At jet* ( at least thats wot I was told ) it was incase we needed to get people out in a hurry, thats why we left them down til almost on the bay. FOD from the mains at taxi speed :confused: |

Flaps/Slats - Move FLAP/SLAT handle to 18° detent. NOTE: Flaps/slats should be in the 18/EXT position for taxi-in to minimize foreign object ingestion.

Ah ..bloggsie ..you can never go back to your beloved quadropuff now! BAe have worked out how to make money when they don't make aircraft. Make aircraft manuals! All MOM (Manufacturer Operating Manual) are now to be FCOM.
Want a job rewriting 146P?:cool: |
MBO Want a job rewriting 146P? Naughty Dobby! Get back on thread! :=:= |
i'll third that, wots an FCOM :}
Think I've listened to too many old wives tales, like waiting for some magical N2 figure before fuel on and leaving the APU start switch in " on " ( or was it run )for 30 secs before starting :\ |
