Hi everybody! I was wondering, how do you guys fly your approach? Do you follow the STARs all the time (Every approach)? When do you lower the gear and flaps? I'm still trying to figure out a "standard", as my approach procedures are a bit random from time to time. Usually I lower the flaps to 15 and gear out at approximately 2500 ft above the field (Or at the radio altimeter call out). After that I just slowly slow down to a speed I feel flaps 30(40) should be lowered, then slow to landing speed. But the same goes to flaps 1 and 5. When do you lower them? Towards the Final Approach Fix / Downwind & Base? I'm still learning and hope to get some good replies.

Hi Guys, i´m trying to figure out how i should proceed to select a good cruise altitude. I read some things about planes having a designated max alt for a specific weight, say FL250 is max alt with 30000lbs (i made these values up!). Is there some kind of chart or table where i can check how hi i can fly? Or a formula to calculate? How do YOU decide about the altitude? Cheers Chris
