What is the FPS-Plus Reflex?
The FPS-Plus
Reflex has all of the same features as our standard FPS-Plus.
The only
difference is the way it functions on aircraft that utilize a Reflexed Flap
Position.
FLAP REFLEX
POSITION DEFINITION:
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.
FPS-Plus Reflex Operation
Again, all
features of this system are exactly the same as our FPS-Plus. The only exception
is, when you press the Flap Up Button for more than a second, it returns the
flaps to the zero degree position, not "full up". This is an advantage when
initiating a "go-around" and "touch and goes". It is also an advantage when your
flaps are in any down position, and you want to return the flaps to the
"take-off" position. Other manufacturers flap positioning systems return the
flaps to the cruise position, which is undesirable for aircraft such as the
RV-10.
NOTE:
You can program
as many flap stop positions and put them where you desire. The first position
down from the "full up" position, does not have to be located at zero degree
point as in our example. It can be any position. In any case, the model FPS-Plus
Reflex will return the flaps to the first position down from the "full up"
position when the flap up button is pressed for more than one second.
Touch-N-Go Operation
As you come in
for a landing with full flaps, you land and then prepare for take-off again
while rolling. You hold in the "Flap Up Button" in for longer than 1
second. This commands the flap positioning system
to start moving to the take-off or climb flap position (zero degrees for the RV-10).
While the flaps are retracting, go to full throttle, punch in the carb. heat,
and take-off. After climb, level off. Momentarily press the "Flap Up Button" again. The flaps
will go to the full up position (the flap reflex position for cruise flight).
Pre-Flight and Ground operations
Pilots that
extend the flaps for pre-flight inspection or for ease of loading can return the
flaps to the zero degree position automatically with one touch of the flap
switch. It's no longer necessary to monitor the flap position as they are
retracting or to retract them in increments. This makes flap retraction simple
and easy, as well as providing the pilot with additional assurance that the
flaps won't "accidentally" be in the reflexed position for take off, a function
not offered by other flap control systems.
The FPS-Plus is the same device as this model FPS-Plus Reflex.
Its programming is slightly different. Hook up is the same.
