Ari, sorry, but your model manual may say fowler flap, but the model manufacturer doesn't know the difference. The full scale Cessna 182 manual calls them single slotted, and the full scale aviation industry calls them single slotted. Not a big deal, just wanted to point out the the creator of the thread that a 182 doesn't have fowler flaps.

Not going to argue it with you because you are using a manual for a model that is incorrect. They stated it that way to sound cool and sell airplanes, but they didn't do the research. go to the airport and grab a 182 manual out of a plane. It will show you what I mean. If you can't find it, I will pull one out of a 172 manual that I have and scan it tomorrow for you. They are the same thing. I just don't have one here right now.

Only reason I even brought it up was there was a huge discussion, argument quite like this one when I was in flight school and many of the instructors that were teaching them as fowler had to change what they were doing becuase students kept getting dinged on it when asked about it on a check ride.

The TF 182 model manual may state it, but that don't make it fact. Its a model.
