I have flown out of Barnes and did approaches there during training and checkrides in Beech 1900's, SAAB 340's and Shorts 360's. I lived in Westfield for 10 years. I always taught my students to remain within gliding distance of the airport whenever possible and only add flaps referencing that glide distance. And I NEVER taught them to raise the flaps after and engine failure. Very good video. If the flaps are already up you can add flaps one notch at a time while in ground effect the stretch the glide and possibly land on the runway and not short of it. You can also land off the centerline of the runway to avoid the approach lights. BTW, how do you slew the aircraft in MSFS.
So non-pilot engineer question - I would think that you wouldn't want to change flaps for any electric motor aircraft. If you engine has failed, parts could have damaged your electrical system and you might be running the risk of an asymmetric retraction at the same time your dealing with an engine out emergency.
Thank you for answering 🙂

Press y to slew.

Great video, but the first second of the video seemed extremely loud... 😅
