4.6.5 Flaps
In the traffic pattern, extend the landing gear at 130 km/h
(70 KIAS), reduce speed further to 120 km/h (65 KIAS) to extend
FLAPS I.
One potential error is attempting to deploy flaps at too high a
speed. To counter this, the flap control system is equipped with a
pressure switch which prevents flaps extending above 140 km/h
(75 KIAS). If the flaps are in an extended position and the speed
increases above 130 km/h (70 KIAS) a blinking LED on the flap
panel will provide overspeed warning.
The flaps will not extend at a speed over 140 km/h (75 KIAS).
It is important to check if flaps are in the desired setting after the
flap deployment command! Check LIMITATION-OPERATION-
INDICATION
The design structural limit of the flaps is 140 km/h (76 KIAS).
Higher speeds can cause structural overload.
The go around procedure poses a significant risk of flap overspeed if
power and attitude are not managed accurately. The Shark 600 has a
high power to weight ratio; applying full power without raising the nose
to the climbing attitude is likely to rapidly and significantly overspeed
the flaps with an associated risk of severe damage and loss of control
occurring.
