So with those students, we tend to review takeoffs with flaps, and how they may be operationally effective in situations other than just a turf or dirt field. Probably 2/3 of my flight review students rarely use flaps in a C172 for take off, and generally only when doing soft field or turf takeoffs. Correct instruction and recurrent practice help address proficiency. I teach both techniques, so that the pilot understands the choices he has, and the ways he can accomplish things.Ĭoncerns about "stalling out" after rotation, are an issue of proficiency. Generally the emphasis is on time to climb, however for some operations, such as out of standing snow, slush, mud and grass, and in the case of seaplanes, glassy water, the preferred optimization may be to minimize ground roll, rolling drag, tire wear or other factors. The issue is how one wants to optimize their flight operations.
