@Lolagramful@MrRevolution53 When taking off you'd use about 20 degre of flap and when landing you use full flap. You use about 20 degre on take off because if you were to use full flap on take off it would take to long to reach take off velocity (and youll run out of runway) because of all the extra drag so you find a happy medium, somewhere in between full flap and clean.
It is dangerous, but it's not very dangerous. The pilot will need alot of room on the runway, and sometimes the runway isn't long enough for the plane to slow down. But in most cases, when flaps fail, I don't think there has been any plane that ran off the runway because of flap failure.
@MrRevolution53 Yeah but has Lolagramful explained not very... The worse thing that could possibly happen is, if i remember correctly is an Asymmetrical flap extention... this is where one side fails to extend and can be extremely hazardous due to the imbalance of airflow over the wings.
@MrRevolution53 well im not an expert, so dont be taking flight lessons with my knowledge. lol....but If you have a long runway, flaps are still used,its beneficial on the landing gear. helps provide a softer and slower landing. less strain. Not to be mean, but if you google it, you will find alot of information.
@108107643 actually with flaps down u can have higher lift (thats why they're used to slow down the airplane without cutting the throttle) so in case of go around the pilot can quickly get back high
@jackjones5000 my daily buisness too :P i work on air conditioning, and its fuckin annoying working a whole day while other guys are running tests and all 3 hydraulic pumps are screaming in ur ears for the whole shift haha. but thats just another day at the office xD
yeah it's the auxiliary hydraulic pump that's making all that noise. they are very loud and very annoying and always take forever to bring the flaps up or down. just don't provide as much pressure as the engine hydraulic system does.

@MrRevolution53 im guessing you meant what are flaps...? in short, the are used to provide extra lift at lower speeds for aircraft. im just saying.

@108107643 And if you gota long runway then dont need to use flaps ?

just adds to the 727's beauty. Beautiful wing (with fowlers and slats extended), beautiful airlplane.

Cant believe how loud it is just sitting there. What the hell makes all that noise. Just pumps?
