"Setting aside best piloting practices, and whether is prudent or not to actually extend the flaps at that speed, why is FSPax getting the
wrong number according to the .cfg?"
The .cfg part of the question is for Dan to answer. I certainly don't have the answer for this one. But, why set aside the best piloting practices?
The point of this exercise is to not pick up any bad habits when flying any aircraft....complex or not. Flaps are generally not used to slow an
aircraft down but to increase the rate of descent without increasing airspeed. Spoilers are used for the main purpose of slowing down the aircraft.
For the J41 and any fast complex aircraft, with or without spoilers or speed brakes, planning well ahead for target altitudes and speeds is the entire
point of the conversation I want to have with you.
