It is speed range dependent. If you follow the recommended profile of speeds and flap selections, the pitching effects are fairly minor. However, there is a disproportionately larger pitch impact when moving flaps at much higher (or slower) speeds than those. > I already > reflexively (i.e. involuntarily) push forward on the yoke whenever I > lower any flaps, without waiting for the pitching to start Yup, I do the same, but only for a fraction of a second. Immediately after hitting the flap switch, I reach for the trim wheel. > -- perhaps > Alex Perry can let us know whether this is common for C172 pilots or > I'm just developing a bad habit. I've no idea. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
