The only issue with landing at flaps 40 is noise abatment. It takes a lot of power to overcome the drag of flaps 40 and that power makes alot of noise. Planes with the Raisbeck Quiet Wing stage III modification had the flap 40 detent blocked off and a placard on the panel. You could enter flaps 40 detent if you raised the guard. Raisbeck also reconfigured the flap settings to optimize lift/drag ratio. Interestingly Raibeck did not touch the engines to meet stage III. It did lower the maximum gorss takeoff weight however and used lower EPR settings.

The TOLD card may make it easier since you know your minimum flap manouvering speeds and your approach speeds. You have to know those. Configure the card once and then always fly at the same weight.

You sure yo uhad all the engines running?  :)

The EPR indications aree so screwed up on this simulation. Normal TO EPR at SL at 59 farenheit is about 2.12 EPR and that's firewall power. This plane at firewall power only puts out about 1.93 EPR. The performance modelling concerning power is off as well. The 727 was not a powerful plane, but it is more powerfu lthan CS modelled it. AT MGTOW I used up about 11,000 feet of runway at 13R at JFK. That's not realistic.
