You may have read about Tiger owners disregarding the POH N.P. of no-flap takeoff and climb. These owners instead use 1/3 flaps and find it reduces takeoff roll and VSI climb rate. I tried this recently and was frankly <B>amazed</b> at how much improvement it produced in TO/climb. I'd like to know if there's any danger or downside to doing this routinely, and suggest that otherwise it be considered standard procedure.

Flaps Down on Takeoff

A common point of discussion on Grumman-Gang and among AYAers is whether the takeoff performance of Grumman aircraft is improved by the use of partial flaps on take-off.

AYA Safety Directory Ron Levy undertook a controlled experiment and concluded that the benefit is small, if any. He recommends following the book procedures, which require flaps up for takeoff.
