Flaps give an aircraft lift and drag so it can still fly at low IAS. Spoilers on top let the aircraft descend without a nose down attitude making a descent without the IAS running away, they are also used to brake the IAS and to assist role control at low IAS
Only once landing at Panama, the Captain (was a woman) used full flaps, it got my attention because during other flights to Panama that wasn't the case, does this have to do with landing weight? Temperature? Someone who might enlighten me?
Landing weight, wind direction, approach speed, Vref I believe are all factors in choosing degree of flaps for takeoff/landing. Makes me assume it’s mathematical and just calculated/planned as part of the flight plan but I’m not a pilot and maybe it is just up to captain’s discretion in the moment 🤷♂️ best I got sorry
Compare my video of a 757 landing in LaGuardia in high winds. Full flaps would not be advisable under those conditions. I'm not a pilot but I think you might want less deflection.
@@Bigalinjapan It is a rare event, so I guess that's the reason. But it does happen. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ZebvuMPV0w.html
Excelente muy bueno lo que es la sustentación de los aviones las alas ,nunca volé en avión a pesar se tener 3 oportunidades ,esto es muy bueno para uno ir viendo que es lo que va ocurriendo en vuelos y aterrizajes y no entrar en un pánico absoluto me encanta desde siempre el tema de los aviones pero el subir no nunca pude superarlo
