    Flaps calibration on B737-800

    With the new section (since Build 499) in the pfd.ini below how do I calibrate this? What is T, C and D? My true flap positions are as for normal 737-800, being 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 40, I guess I put this in as T1 to T9 (T being True?).

    I am guessing that C1 is the flppos value (ie FS setting) in the aircraft config file and D1 is the flpset value (ie PM display value on the GC)

    Re: Flaps calibration on B737-800

    Figured it out. As I have 9 flap positions, just need to ensure the pfd ini has from 1 to 9 above. Then you just move the flaps to each position, wait until they come to rest at each position and the values are automatically written to the pfd.ini. I kep getting the "calibrate" message until now because I haven't used flaps 40!
