walrus Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Kasper, regarding flap asymmetry, in the absence of an asymmetry cutout circuit, I was taught always to extend flaps while straight and level. That way you will sense a failure as an uncommanded roll. If you extend flaps while turning you may not sense the failure until too late.

I extend flaps on downwind and then on base and final. I cannot recall ever extending them during a turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 IF you are flying most days of the week you will probably do it.(Flaps and power changes in turns). Certainly with a racetrack circuit you will .Early training you avoid overloading students till they have good proficiency. Flap assymetry is usually a failure of some linkage producing a roll result which is uncommanded. . Observing VFe limits and inspections are a place to start. It's a complex possibility but as I see it treated by not mentioning it is the current situation. with RAAus training and some VH too... Being very attuned to your plane's normal feel and reactions when controls are moved is a help.. It could fail during extension or at ANY other time flap is not fully UP as well.

spenaroo Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I want to see what his brother Mark is doing on his cub build, Mike was all about power and the ability to do trips at high altitude take-offs. Mark is all about weight and take-off performance for a competition STOL aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
