FLAPS/SLATS Lever
Overview
The FLAPS/SLATS lever controls the extension of lift-enhancing devices during takeoff and landing phases to improve low-speed aerodynamic performance. The lever has five fixed detent positions.
Panel Function Details
FLAPS/SLATS Lever Detents
- 0: Flaps and slats fully retracted.
- 1, 2, 3: Incremental extension, providing progressively increased lift.
- FULL: Flaps and slats fully extended.
Note
- To operate the lever, the safety sleeve below the handle must be lifted first.
- Mechanical stops are present at detents 1 and 3 to prevent unintentional overextension or retraction of flaps/slats.
