If so, republic does not allow flaps 4 as an intermediate setting on approach as there are no approach warnings as it's strictly a takeoff setting.
And we recently adopted this stupid "Flaps X, Set Vapp, landing checklist". There has also been a few other things over the last year that we have changed that you guys were already using.
We used to use flaps 4 but now it’s a no no. Landing with ice speeds and ATC trying to slow you down can cause a big headache hence why a lot of us used to it. Now I guess those slow to 160 is gonna be met with a lot of unables especially as we get into the winter months. I guess you just throw out the gear and go to flaps 5? Just don’t forget to set them to full for landing by 1000 feet if you have to do a flaps full landing.
