PSTOL Flaps are the pinnacle of performance tailored to meet the high demands of skilled backcountry pilots. These flaps revolutionize wing aerodynamics, altering wing camber and angle of attack during glide path deployment. Designed to resolve the longstanding challenge of obscured sightlines during short landings in confined areas, PSTOL Flaps significantly lower deck angles, enhancing visibility for safer and more controlled landings.
The meticulously engineered slot design ensures uninterrupted airflow and prevents boundary layer separation, leading to improved flap effectiveness. The deployment of PSTOL Flaps results in remarkable benefits, including a reduction in landing and stall speeds by an average of 3-5 mph, a noticeable increase in maximum drag and lift as compared to standard flaps, and a pronounced increase in wing camber and chord line steepness.
Installation of PSTOL Flaps calls for expertise, with an IA required for certified installations due to necessary fabric work. Estimated installation time ranges from 20 to 30 hours, contingent on the mechanic's proficiency. While compatibility is restricted for certain fuel tank configurations, PSTOL Flaps offer an exceptional solution for those who seek enhanced short-landing performance without compromising safety or precision.
