implies that the flaps and slats are retracted. These devices are used to optimize the initial climb but they have the effect of increasing drag, so, the earlier they are retracted the sooner the aircraft enters a more efficient aerodynamic configuration. However, ATC constraints or noise abatement requirements may often preclude the use of a lower acceleration altitude.

. The aircraft should be kept in an aerodynamically clean configuration as long as possible with landing gear and flaps only being deployed at the required moment.
. A continuous descent will minimize the time the aircraft spends at a non-
optimum altitude.
. Visual approaches should be considered, as airport instrument approach
paths do not always offer the most direct route to the runway.
3.2.4.11. LANDING FLAP CONFIGURATION
Conf 3, where conditions enable its use, will allow fuel to be saved because it is more aerodynamically efficient than the more typically used FULL configuration (Note: CAT 2/3 low visibility landings nominally require Conf FULL).
However, the following
