    I noticed that the 737NG's FMC also does not accept flap setting 25 on takeoff. :(

    Hello, when will ipacs fix the beacon light lighting bug on Boeing 737NG and AIRBUS A320 planes?

    Is flaps 25 even a valid takeoff flap setting? As far as I know only flaps 1 to 15 are allowed, 25 would give you a config warning, pretty sure.

    The flaps positions are probably not yet fully implemented and yes the v-speeds do not change with flap yet. I can fix this in the future when I have time for it. For now, it'd stick with flap 5 takeoff.

    Regards,

    Hello, 25 flaps are only used on very short runways. For example, at Santos Dumont Airport.

    I found this photo demonstrating the 25 flaps on takeoff. I believe it can help with something.

    The 737 takes off with Flaps 25⁰ from very short runways, but I think this only happens here in Brazil, since basically only Gol operates the SFP Standard, But I believe that the 737-900ER also uses Flaps 25⁰, it comes with this standard factory

    One question, do pilots IRL usually use flaps 5 for take-off (in minimal weight operations)? Normally I've seen some use 10 and when loaded 15 (maximum).

    Someone explained that, 737s don't takeoff with 1 and 2.

    I don't think people take-off with 25 (mostly what I've observed) in any Boeing aircrafts. Be it 777 or 787, 737

    The take off performance of category A large transports is part of a difficult and exceptionally involved subject. Some people sit the performance exam many, very many times. Everything is covered and there is a solution for every scenario to achieve absolute safety and at the same time make the plane give the maximum service to the operator and the passengers.
    There is a case for flaps 1 (or 2), it is when the limiting factor is a high obstacle in the take off and climb path. The longer run reaching a higher speed with flaps 1 gets the plane over the obstacle with the highest payload weight. It gets the plane higher and faster sooner.
    Giving concrete examples here with written data would be a lot of work but it would be done in minutes with the modern electronic computation.

    Clearing a tower west of London City might be a mildly entertaining exercise in the sim, ten knot rotation speed changes could be matched with two stages of flap alterations. It is a pity that we cannot change weight and temperature so far in Aerofly.

    Entering an ILS frequency and moving it from standby to active flashes an error message.

    Kind regards, good day, and bon vol!

    You will learn to interpret a text by your son from Austin Bug.

    I meant he's AustinBug's son. That's why he doesn't know how to interpret a text. Note: don't ask me who AustinBug is😂😂😂

    Change the selector from VOR or GLS to ILS mode if necessary before selecting active.
