landing flap settings at a class "G" airport

[GravityHater]

Isn't that the Knee-Jerk "Let's do Something" Thurman Munsen FAR?

Then I ask the following:
1. Are you the PIC?
2. Was this a checkride,training or certification ride?
3. Did you have any problems/emergencies?
4. What flap setting did you use for landing?

The answers are usually, yes, no, no and full.

Then I thank them and tell them they will receive a letter after ten days. (I don't want them to file a NASA report)

I just got all the info I needed to violate them for a violation of FAR 91.126(c). Now isn't that a bunch of hooey? I don't think anyone has ever been violated for that reg but it is a good example for my ramp check briefing.

Is this also the case for a turbojet that DOESN'T have published data for other-than-full flaps, in your opinion?

The reg does specify "minimum certificated".

Fly safe!

Class G

If the turbojet does not have published landing distances in the AFM other than full flaps then there is no other flap setting to use other than in an emergency. That would be outside this regulation.

So you don't actually have enough information to issue a violation with your ramp check scenario?

As a dispatcher, I read it this way:

B727 type, available landing flaps 30 and 40

Use Flaps 30 for all normal landings, and 40 if you really really need to to limit the landing roll, or you are going to a short short runway.
