Default Re: ERJ Flap Questuon

Flap overspeeds are a MASSIVE deal on the 757/767 fleet. In fact, you only extend flaps when you need them for lift, not drag.

On the -88/90 you will generally use flaps and slats for drag so descending at 280 and you need to get down, you'll call for 'slats extend'. On the 75/76, you generally only call for flaps as you decelerate through the maneuvering speeds.
