Early-model Cessnas originally utilize older-style, wire- wound transmitters. These transmitters are located in the wing, where they are exposed to humidity and extreme temperatures. After many...
The FPS-Plus is a full service, automatic, flap positioning system. This system operates similar to the “Cessna type flap systems” that many pilots were trained in. The pilot can easily go from one flap position to another with one quick press of the flap button. All flap stop positions (from 0 to 10, your choice) are easily, user programmable.
This is a flap position (typically up to a minus ten degrees) that is maintained in cruise flight. The zero degree position is usually designated for aircraft take-off and climb.
The Flap Controller is a combination drive unit for the flap actuator, and an indicator of flap position. It features momentary push button switches with built in green LED lights, providing settings for 4 flap positions. Each switch can be user pro- grammed to a specific flap position. Once calibrated, momentarily pushing any switch, will then automatically drive the flaps to the pre selected position and stop.
