Flaps setting and penalty points

[Marc Devillers]

Hello to all,

Taking of with the same plane Cessna210 and same load (freight and passengers), I have sometimes the following penalty message:

Pilot's Penalty points: -300 points
Forgetting to set the proper flaps during take-off is an extremely dangerous fault and does not show proper piloting skills. (-300)

During other flight with exactly the same conditions and flaps setting I have no penalty message. Can someone explain me this situation
and what I have to do to avoid this.

Many thanks in advance and best regards,

Marc Devillers

Search the forum. This topic has been discussed before. Normally, with any degree of flaps set, you should not incur a penalty.

At take off, it's better to keep your flaps until 1000 fts to avoid any penalty!
