- normalized position of flaps

What about speed brakes/spoilers ?
These are getting quite common on some of the faster planes like
Mooney's...

What about cowl flaps?
All of my experience is with jets, what exactly are cowl flaps?
For aircooled engines, the flaps either constrain the airflow into
the engine compartment, or constraint it coming out of the compartment.
The C172RG has them underneath behind the gear.
Flaps are open at

Hmm, I suppose I really ought to take some consideration of this
into the CHT model. Are these a manually operated thing?
It depends, of course. On the C172RG, it is a vertical moving lever
just to the right of the elevator trim, with no automation. Newer

That's a good point, but I'm listing only what we're actually

They're flaps around the front of the nacelle -- when you open them,
they produce extra drag (less than gear or flaps) and route more air
over the engine for cooling; when you close them, you cut the drag but

Mine too.
Cowl flaps are used to cool engines for ground operations,taxi, takeoffs and
landings when the engine is either at a high power setting or there is
insufficient airfow to cool the

And let's not forget the oil cooler doors on DC-6s etc :-) !
