December 22, 200916 yr Hey all,Just need some help here, when do you begin to lower the flaps to 15 and then when do you proceed to 28 and then 35?Thanks,Josh Katz
December 22, 200916 yr I've got in the habbit of doing like the 1st tutorial said. When nearing my initial approach fix about 10 miles out of turing on final I'll bring it to Flaps 15, by the time I'm turning my speed is just about 180, then during the turn I'll drop to 28 and lower the gear, then when I see 4 green on the gear lights, flaps 35. Most approaches if not all have me capturing the glide slope right after turning on final so this method has worked every time. i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier
December 22, 200916 yr Checkout smartcockpit.com for some approach charts to give you an idea based on each app type.

December 22, 200916 yr Assess when you need to be at which speeds, and use flaps accordingly... you obviously do not want to be 30nm out at Vref with 35 Andrew Entwistle
December 22, 200916 yr Usualy I just look at the waypoints and what speed I need to be on them according to the chart or the FMS. So when I near the first waypoint where I need to be at 180 kts I extend the slats/flaps. But thats just the '
December 22, 200916 yr For me i keep her clean until on final when the FMS speed indicates an 'open ball' on the speed tape Bryan Richards "People depend so much on automation that they forget how to get the automation to work." B.W.
December 22, 200916 yr Your sig hereHaha, you sig statement is so very true. Had a good laugh. i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier
December 23, 200916 yr When passing the IAF flaps should be 15 most cases, just prior to the descent piont on the App flaps 28, gear down.....prior to 1000 AGL final flaps.Real LifeFreighthog
December 23, 200916 yr I like extending the flaps at 20kt above the FMS speed, and maintaining that speed. I do this primarily to see where I'm going. I figure that I deserve to look at the scenery I have installed. Once I get to F35, it's cool though.Paul

December 23, 200916 yr Avsim needs a "Like" button.You do it that way too huh? You know what they say..."great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ". I wonder which category we fit into.Paul
