maximum flap rating for banking - circling to land ?

Featured Replies

Greetings!I'm wishing to find out what degree of flaps is OK for banking the 737 on approach. For example in circling to land. Is it deemed OK to bank the aircraft from base to final at flaps 15? What is the maximum flap rating you should use?Thank you, Iain

The question is what speed should you be at while in the scenario, and then from there you can determine where the flaps should be. There's no maximum or minimum flap settings for banking outside of load factor limits.

HI Zach - Yes agree that speed is the deciding factor as flaps deployment is directly correlated to speed. (I didn't want to complicate the question with speed)... I had "heard" incorrectly that it was best to never bank the 737 with greater than flaps 15 out...Thanks for answering the question, Iain
