@mickhasbigballs Sorry, you've gotten me confused. Pilots are required to retract the flaps and spoilers during the post-landing checklist, so what does the length of the runway have to do with anything?

Why didnt the flaps retract fully?

[FrozenFlame333]

@fs9lover I noticed that as well. Maybe they just forgot, but that seems pretty unlikely.

[familyguy958]

@FrozenFlame333 i do not think it b.c they forgot, its due to the weight , speed and length of runway they had. if the captain didnt think it was necessary, they would usee full flaps

[FrozenFlame333]

@familyguy958 It's not the actual landing that I'm referring to, it's the way the pilot left the flaps down after taxiing off the runway. As far as I know, pilots are required to retract the flaps during the post-landing checklist; the flaps were left in the landing position all the way to the gate and even after the engines were shut down.

@FrozenFlame333 Pilots actually don't always retract flaps because it saves energy from AC. They can only do that in warm places though :)
