Do you use full flaps on takeoff?

Q: When is it necessary to do full flaps for takeoff and when are minimal flaps needed? A: No airliners take off with full flaps. High-altitude airports and higher temperatures cause airplanes to use reduced flap settings to ensure adequate climb performance.

Full throttle may sometimes be needed for takeoff or a go-around, but not in normal flight. Likewise, one of the few times an automobile may need full throttle is when merging onto a high speed highway with speedier traffic.

Pilots usually use Flaps 1 when the weather is good for flying and if the runway used is longer than needed. Flaps 2 is used usually when headwinds are not strong enough or the runway in use is not that long for a takeoff run.

Most of the time, landing flap will be determined by the landing performance required, flap 30 is nearly always desirable unless we need the lower approach speed, or if increased forward visibility is required such as during low vis ops. Performance is the determining factor.
