12.2. Flaps control failure
1. Flaps position ..................................................... Visually check position
2. Airspeed ...............................Maintain according to observed flap position
3. Flaps position ........................Visually check movement while operating
the flaps switch in all positions
If flaps are stuck:
4. Consider possible degraded performance
If flaps are stuck at T/O or LDG consider higher
aerodynamic drag, decreased specific range and

according to actual flap
setting. If exactly flaps position can be determined,
observe the lower V

value.
5. Plan landing considering the actual flap setting (refer to the Table below)

If flaps are stuck UP, plan landing using a flat
approach and use power levers to control airplane
speed and rate of descent.
If flaps are NOT stuck:
Consider flaps indicator inoperative.
