4. Flaps Systems
4.1 General Description and Operation

Flaps are a type of high lift device used to increase the lift of an aircraft wing at a given
airspeed. Flaps are usually mounted on the wing trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft. Flaps are
used to lower the minimum speed at which the aircraft can be safely flown, and to increase the
angle of descent for landing. Flaps also cause an increase in drag, so they are retracted when not
needed.1

During take off, flaps may be partially extended for takeoff When used during takeoff,
flaps trade runway distance for climb rate: using flaps reduces ground roll but also reduces the
climb rate. The amount of flap used on takeoff is specific to each type of aircraft, and the
manufacturer will suggest limits and may indicate the reduction in climb rate to be expected. The
Cessna172S Pilot Operating Handbook generally recommends 10° of flaps on takeoff, especially
when the ground is rough or soft.

During landing, Flaps may be fully extended for landing to give the aircraft a lower stall
speed so the approach to landing can be flown more slowly, which also allows the aircraft to land
in a shorter distance. The higher lift and drag associated with fully extended flaps allows a
steeper and slower approach to the landing site, but imposes handling difficulties in aircraft with
very low wing loading. Winds across the line of flight, known as crosswinds, cause the
windward side of the aircraft to generate more lift and drag, causing the aircraft to roll, yaw and
pitch off its intended flight path, and as a result many light aircraft land with reduced flap
settings in crosswinds.

4.2 Component General Description and Location

Extending the wing flaps increases the camber or curvature of the wing, raising the
maximum lift coefficient or the upper limit to the lift a wing can generate. This allows the
aircraft to generate the required lift at a lower speed, reducing the stalling speed of the aircraft,
and therefore also the minimum speed at which the aircraft will safely maintain flight. The
increase in camber also increases the wing drag, which can be beneficial during approach and
landing, because it slows the aircraft. In some aircraft configurations, a useful side effect of flap
deployment is a decrease in aircraft pitch angle, which lowers the nose thereby improving the
pilot's view of the runway over the nose of the aircraft during landing. In other configurations,
however, depending on the type of flap and the location of the wing, flaps can cause the nose to
rise or pitch up, obscuring the pilot's view of the runway.
