January 17, 20242 yr Hello guys, Could someone shed some light on how to operate the Flaps/Slats after takeoff? I usually have VFE speeds at or close to VR and Slat retraction speed shortly after. So my understanding is that i could immediately retract everything after liftoff which seems a bit counterintuitive. For example VR 163 kts, VFE 166 and slat retraction around 180 kts. So if i rotate gently i am at about 180 knots after liftoff... Any tipps appreciated! Best regards
