Can you quantify that a little for us? Can you time the cycles? Although I'm not flying yet, my static flap retraction speed is approximately the same as my flap extension speed. This is at 1000 - 1100 PSI I would guess about one slow second each way. In fact, just before the hydraulic pump turns on at approximately 950 PSI, the flaps hesitate about half way up. Would you consider this too fast? Could you possibly address the problem by retracting the flaps in two steps? What is the consensus of all those L-IV drivers already flying?
