Hi all,

Despite updating the relevant FSU's and FSR's (I have checked the files and it tells me so in the interface) to have the "FlapsDownDuringTaxi=1", the fact that I have flaps down during taxi is still be reported in final analysis ("Flaps down while taxiing - get them up.").

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the setting?

Cheers,
D.

Hi D:

Many thanks for your report.

I think I know what is happening here - if the flag is set to true then flaps are allowed down during taxi - but this is while taxiing out to the runway.

If they are down while taxiing in after landing then the instructor will mark this against the pilot.

However... I do not think the distinction between taxiing out and taxiing in is made clear (or even mentioned) in the manual - and this is something that we need to correct!

Ah OK I will check that, I'm normally pretty good at instantly raising flaps as I exit the runway and before the taxi phase - but I will do a specific flight just to test the full scenario.

Thanks,
D.
