Cam Posted July 6, 2023 Report Posted July 6, 2023 Hi guys, thanks for the update. Not sure whether this is accurate or not, but I appear to have excessive pitch-up when selecting Landing Flaps (from TO) - even the AP has difficulty correcting it. When hand flying, it takes significant forward yoke movement and then trim to correct it. It is also evident when transitioning from Clean to TO, but not as pronounced. Is this normal - I don't recall this much pitch-up in the XP11 version (I don't have XP11 any more)? Also there appears to be an extra flap position. After selecting 'flaps down 1 notch' from the UP position, the flap moves slightly and the flap indicator shows the flap indicator needle at the bottom of the upper-most flap position range marker. Another 'flaps down 1 notch' from that position then gives you the TO position. It's the same when moving the flaps back up from the Landing position to Clean. Is this correct? Thanks 1 Quote
Coop Posted July 10, 2023 Report Posted July 10, 2023 I'll note the pitch report and have it looked into. Regarding flaps, the Islander has 6° as the default for most flight conditions, and you can put it into the 0° bump position for low weight flight for improved cruise speed and altitude. Quote
