It
should be noted that the lateral and
dixectiana.1
control
is
so
effective that through their normal use,
it is possible to overcome
the effects of both slats remaining closed on one side.
c
FLAPS l
All 1700 series aircraft have electric powered flaps as
standard with
a
flap position Indicator on the instrument panel.
Full flap can be used for landing under all normal wind conditions.
Shortest take-off runs,
under
standard air, sea-level conditions,
are performed
with
30'
flaps,
although
ZOO
will give a better rate
of climb once the airplane is airborne and provides better take-off
at higher altitudes,
or
with maximum
gross
loads,
