GVII - High, Hot, and Heavy Flaps

If you were wondering about the high, hot, and heavy note to retract flaps to 10° at 180 knots and up at 200 knots it was because they discovered a G500 in those conditions leaving Rwanda got several “airspeed low” audible warnings. Further investigation revealed the system worked as advertised, the aircraft was never unsafe, but the messages proved unnerving for some passengers. There is evidence to suggest the advantages of taking off with Flaps 10° could outweigh the negatives and this might become our preferred takeoff flap setting.
