    Flaps gauge

    Using Simkits flaps gauge for 737-7
    8 positions non linear
    Calibration is in percentage, anyone having the values for each position?

    Hi Jack,

    This is the answer I got from Simkits support:

    "For the B737 for example, the position 0 = 0% and the full flaps are 40° = 100%, so 10° are 25% and so on... When calibrating, you should assign 0 to the field for the position 0 (0%), 25 to the field for the position 10° (25%), 62.5 for 25° and so on...

    In the case of the 737 the flaps are:
    0° -> 0%
    1° -> 2.5%
    2° -> 5%
    5° -> 12.5 %
    10° -> 25%
    15° -> 37.5%
    25° -> 62.5%
    30° -> 75%
    40° -> 100% "

    That gets you in the ball park, but you still have to adjust each position individually.

    Maurice
