I just finished installing an AOA yesterday - haven't flown it yet to calibrate it.
(CYA-100)

I understand the concept of DMMS - but no where in this discussion is the use of flaps mentioned. My CYA system says to place the aircraft in a landing configuration and reduce airspeed to just above a stall. You then push a programming button and that defines the angle of attack where the airplane stalls.

Wouldn't it be natural, if you lost an engine to pull in at least one notch of flaps?

I can understand folks with electric flaps wouldn't have time to mess with them in a take-off engine out situation, but our manual flaps can be pulled in so quickly that why wouldn't one pull them in?

Any thoughts???
