I heard flaps can create maintenance issues. Any recommendations re. flap usage?

How many more messages do i have to go before i can PM?
Just start posting 1, 2, 3 and so until you see your ability to PM pop up. Not sure but I think it's around 10ish. Then PM me your Q's and I'll gladly put together a nice recommendations WB for you.

I'm headed to work but we normally cruise between 210 and 260 with some ops up to 280. We operate E120ER's with 118B's. Straight 118's are reliable but are nowhere near as efficient as the B’s.
