Maybe some of you that just play Infinite flight for fun don’t know the perfect way on using flaps. But relax, in this guide I will show you guys all on using flaps in the correct airspeed and make you guys the best possible pilot on the game!
Flaps are use when you are in the landing position. Usually when you are about to land you decrease your airspeed so that you can slow down and land as smooth as possible in the runway. While you do that you also must control the gear, spoilers, flaps, heading(AP), altitude(AP), vertical speed(AP) and much more! Today I will show you when to use the right degree in flaps. You will only need to know about airspeed in order to really understand this tutorial.
Flaps is in this order. 1,2,5,10,15,25,30and40 degree (Based on 737-800 aircraft) Each degree needs a correct airspeed in order to have the most realistic flight. This tutorial is really based on what pilot do when they are landing! You can see a small table that I made below. The left indicates the degree of flaps and the right indicates the airspeed needed if you want to retract the flaps.
-This is based on the Boeing 737-800 series (It maybe could be common to other aircrafts)-
What about on takeoff, i usually use 15 degrees but on a 5 hour flight in real life the pilots used 10 degree flaps but it took like 45 seconds to takeoff
@Laurens Exactly,
And in winter time, even in the lowlands, the low air’s temperature increases the density,
Shortening the take off’s run and increasing ramp’s angles
Best
After 10 000ft?! :/ They’re two different kind of take-off procedures (ICAO TYPE A and TYPE B).
A : flaps rectraction at 1000ft AAL.
B: flaps rectaction at 3000ft AAL.
Yeah i know, but this is based on a pilot log book…So i think they used this. And actually this is the landing procedure and takeoff is different than this.
