C172/Flaps staying on while taking off


Recommended Posts

I am using the stock C172 and each time I go to take off, the flaps show as being deployed. Image 1 shows it at takeoff. I use a button on my controller to put them back to zero.

5 seconds later, they are showing as being deployed. Again, I reset them.

I have taken off, and again, they are showing as deployed.

What can I do to prevent this?

If this happens on other planes too, there a few things to check:

 

AI Co-Pilot is switched off.

Flaps button is configured to extend and retract flaps incrementally.

No other button, switch or key is assigned to Flaps function.

Not sure about other planes, I only fly two :)

 

That being said (or typed), I've checked the settings you recommended, turned off anything related to the Co-Pilot, still occurs, however, only until the auto pilot is turned on.

This can only be a controller or control assignment conflict - you have more than one button, switch, lever or key assigned to the flaps extend/retract function. If you use a joystick and an xbox controller for example, unplug the xbox controller and try again.

Hi Tim, I went and checked all 3 items, keyboard, mouse and Joystick. I deleted the joystick flap settings, leaving only the keyboard ones. There are only two, one to extend, one to retract.

 

Took off from NYC, same deal. However, once I got the autopilot going, all was well :)

Have you got any of the Assistance settings on by any chance? I've no idea why the Autopilot affects flap control unless it's coincidental somehow.

I turned off Assisted Takeoff and that did the trick!

 

Thanks for the suggestion :D
