Flaperoner

Flaperoner is a term used in the context of aviation to describe a specific type of aircraft maneuver. The term is derived from the words "flap" and "power on," indicating that the maneuver involves the use of flaps and the application of power. The flaperoner is typically performed during the approach to landing, particularly when the aircraft is landing on a wet or slippery runway.

The purpose of the flaperoner is to increase the lift generated by the wings, which can be beneficial when landing on a runway with reduced friction. By extending the flaps and applying power, the aircraft can maintain a higher angle of attack, which increases lift and allows for a safer landing. This maneuver is particularly useful in conditions where the runway surface is contaminated with water, snow, or ice, as it helps to compensate for the reduced traction available.

The flaperoner is a standard procedure taught to pilots and is included in aviation training programs. It is an important technique for ensuring safe and efficient landings, especially in adverse weather conditions. The maneuver requires precise control of the aircraft's power settings and flap configuration, as well as careful monitoring of the approach path and landing conditions.
