retracting flaps after takeoff

Featured Replies

What is the correct procedure for retracting flaps after takeoff ?What I'm doing is setting T/O flaps on the dial-a-flap, then after blast-off when passing FR on the speed tape I press the yoke switch to bring the flaps in a notch and they come right back in one hit to just the slats. The plane hasn't dropped out of the sky yet but it has given me some interesting moments watching the speed tape so I guess I'm doing something very wrong - if I was a passenger I'd be asking the airline to pay to have my trousers drycleaned :-)Where am I going wrong ?ThanksGary

Gary,sounds about right! Just be aware that -FR is the MINIMUM speed at which you're allowed to retract the flaps. Now if you're in a windy and turbulent environment make sure that you're clearly accelerating away from -FR before you do retract the flaps.Regards,Markus
