When to do flaps 3 landing?
So a Flap 3 landing would be a landing with the flap handle in the Flaps 3 position, one short of full extension. Why would a pilot want to do that? The ideal landing speed would be a little higher than with full flaps, which might be advisable if the winds are gusty and the runway length is not a constraining factor.
