I never use flaps on take off in my 360. If the runway is short to require them I would probably not use that runway.
I don't use them because making trim changes close to the ground isn't what I want to be doing. If I skip the flaps I get to skip one more distraction at that critical point in the flight. I set my trim for climb and don't mess with it till 1000 agl or higher.

Sent from my iPhone Hi All, I am wondering how many people use flaps on take off with the IVP? I was told to use about 15 degrees of flaps. I've also discovered that I don't like retracting the flaps unless the IAS is about 135knots IAS. No real reason other than I notice that you don't really feel the retraction as much as you do at the lower speeds.
So I guess I am wondering, if you only have a couple people on board (or even a full load with lots of runway), do you use flaps? -Dico -- Regards, Dico Reijers InternetWorks Ltd.
