I would think if there is a non-documented structural / mechanical reason to avoid full flaps, then the plane needs to be repaired, and/ or scrapped.

Correct. Nothing wrong with discussing, challenging, re-thinking, and learning. Definitely something that makes people like MScard uncomfortable, so they seek to silence participants in order to not get exposed.

I stand corrected. You weren't able to explain a generic, non-informative term like "garbage".

"Garbage" doesn't really describe much. Hopefully the Pilot understands what is going on. And how things became "garbage". And what adjustments need to be done. Nobody learns calling something "garbage". I am guessing Denver Pilot will be a long text playing what "garbage" means. In...

I was just trying to understand why people don't use all the tools available. And don't take it personally. Are usually post for my phone, so I don't really pay attention to who the poster is, I only replied to the content and the discussion. I try to keep personalities out of it. I...

Should one be hesitant to use full flaps due to the possibility of a go-around?

Nobody is trying to "dog" anyone for go-arounds. People are trying to understand why he is doing "lots" and "many" go-arounds in a 182. And if there is a connection with only using 20-flaps and being afraid to use full flaps. Seems there could be a possible connection. What is a...

Exactly. He doesn't seem to be happy with his approaches. Ends up doing "lots" and "many" go-arounds, and, doesn't use the last 2 notches in his flaps. I wonder if there is some connection??? Maybe, just maybe, there is a reason to have those big flaps on the Cessna wing? I have had one...

Assuming he is past the first 3 hours of "transition" to a 182, all the heavy forces on the nose should be common to him, and he should be able to trim those out. Yes, that is what I meant, by landing at 20 degrees, you are adding lift to the wing. While trying to convince the wing to quit...

And, your "inspection" was when you walked thru the home, and saw the paint scratch on the door moulding, saw that the home was 13 years old (and by deduction, saw that the water heater, furnace, AC, stove, fridge, etc...were 13 years old). Then to have an "inspector" come in and say that the...

Try and find an old retract without a few gear-up landings in the log books. Part of the game.

The need to justify your offer, and educate the Seller is interesting. The Seller knows what is wrong with the PU/Plane/Etc. He owns it. He drives it. He sees it everyday. Almost all these things being sold are sold "asis", so, what you see is what you get. If there are other scratches...

I fly around solo, with a case of water in the baggage compartment. It makes it much easier to flare. As for trimming, I trim constantly, and it doesn't take many spins on the trim to adjust the pressure. I can't see fear of trimming as a reason not to use all the flaps the good people at...

Doesn't 20° of flaps in a 182 just increase lift? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The funny part is all those who think their method is superior. They are the easiest type of people to negotiate with. It's the flexible people who are the best negotiators. The ones who can read a person, and adjust their strategy to accommodate the change in environment. Sent from my...

Why is he doing so many go-arounds?

Uhhhh....... This may be obvious, but could the need for "many" go-around so be related to not using all the tools / flaps that Cessna provides? Put in 40-flaps, and land the plane where you want it. I am not sure what would be causing you go-arounds. I would venture the only reason I would...

Isn't there a $3000 one from Garmin, avaialble right now?

The Benefit is not that much different?? Or the cost?
