Here is one I have never heard of before. I was flying right seat in an Apache yesterday. The PIC mentioned that as we were coming in to land that he had been taught that because asymetrical flap deployments could occur that his CFI-ME told him he should always land without flaps. That sounded like a bunch of hooey to me but not having a ME rating I don't know for sure.
It seems to me that any plane 'could' have asymetrical flap deployments but that alone is not a reason to never use flaps. They are there for a reason. Better to learn how to fly and handle an asymetric flap problem than to not use them.
Your thoughts?
