Full or partial flaps?
Asked by: jps 4639 views Aerodynamics, Aircraft Systems, General Aviation, Private Pilot
When performing a normal landing, do you prefer to use the full flap range of the aircraft, or a partial flap setting? Assuming the standard 30 degree flap CE-172, what flap setting would you use? I know the aircraft is certified for, and fully capable of, landings at any flap setting, but I'm interested in what your personal preference is and the reasoning behind it. Also, I'd be interested in your thoughts on the use of partial flap settings in gusting winds. -Thanks!
