What is the maximum altitude for flap section?
- A.
10 000 ft
- B.
20Â 000 ft
- C.
30 000 ft
- D.
18 000 ft
Correct Answer
B. 20Â 000 ftExplanation
The maximum altitude for the flap section is 20,000 ft. This means that the flaps on an aircraft can be extended up to 20,000 ft above ground level. Flaps are aerodynamic surfaces on the wings that can be extended or retracted to change the shape and lift characteristics of the wing. They are typically used during takeoff and landing to increase lift and reduce the aircraft's speed. The maximum altitude for the flap section indicates the highest altitude at which the flaps can still be effectively used.Rate this question:
