Default RE: Flaperons, Spoilerons

If you have true flaps and not flaperons. I would say the effectiveness of the ailerons remains constant, since they are not performing two duties. Essentially the flaps when down creates drag which in turn reduces air speed whcih makes landing supposedly easier. Sometimes this can result in a stall situation if the speed is reduced too much.
