Not so fast. Aero tables might be indexed for flaps based on angle. If the flaps are commanded to 30 degrees the aero force and moment will be calculated based on that. What I was getting at is this: if the flap actuator extends fifty percent, there's a good chance that you're not going to get exactly 30 degrees flaps. The actuator mechnism probably won't linearly extend the flaps due to the compound nature of the flap mechanisms.
