FLAP SYSTEM
This aircraft originally had a hydraulic flap system that was replaced with an electric flap
system. The switch is located on the center console next to the lighter adapter. There is an “up”
and “down” position with a neutral or off position in between. The switch is not spring loaded in
the up position, so if you move it to the up position it will stay in the up position. It is, however,
spring loaded in the down position, so flap extension will stop upon releasing the switch or
reaching the full flaps down position. A deliberate 3-second count extends the flaps to roughly
15
o
(approach setting), and roughly 11 seconds will bring the flaps from full up to full down.
