Is your normal landing config. flaps 3 or full?


Normal is flaps full. Flaps 3 is used for single engine landings and gusty
crosswind conditions.

I was just curious as we now land flaps 3 as our normal landing config. as per SOP to save fuel.

I think you will find it is suggested and put into the SOP to avoid confusion. It prevails to do what you are comfortable with though right?:erm:

I think the Conf 3 email was more of one of promoting the OPTION of Conf 3 IF and only IF the flight crew judges it to be more efficient.

The email outlined numerous considerations that would negate the benefits of Conf 3.

The main thing I took away from the email was it is always the flight crew's choice and there are MANY considerations to the Landing Configuration choice.
