DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Flaps...." 06-07-02, 12:09z  Dave Hamblin (formerly DaveH on old site!) The morning I soloed (before I realized I was going to solo...) we practiced everything from power-off simulated engine failures, no-flap to full flap (slips with no flap etc). I should have guess something when he had me do a go-around from a 40 degree flap approach at about 100' (when the approach was good). (When my CFI said to stop he was getting out I wondered "gee, am I scaring you that bad ) After hearing people give me horror stories about full (40 degree) flaps on a C150 as to go arounds and flares; I actually found it quite comfortable to do both (after you get used to the steeper approach). My CFI doesn't require me to do any specific flap settings; if fact he encourages me to try different settings at this point. Its interesting to hear different theories on these type things!
