  Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › Basic Safety Concepts › Airplane Configuration

  Airplane Configuration Since flaps improve maneuverability at slow speed, and lower the stalling speed, their use during final approach is recommended when time and circumstances permit. However, the associated increase in drag and decrease in gliding distance call for caution ... available, a gear-up landing on level, but soft terrain or across a plowed field may result in less airplane damage than a gear-down landing.

  Chapter 12: Transition to Complex Airplanes › Retractable Landing Gear › Landing Gear Safety Devices

  Safety Devices Most airplanes with a retractable landing gear have a gear warning horn that sounds when the airplane is configured for landing and the landing gear is not down and locked. Normally, the horn is linked to the throttle ... flap position and/or the airspeed indicator so that when the airplane is below a certain airspeed, configuration, or power setting with the gear retracted, the warning horn sounds. Accidental retraction of a landing gear may be prevented by such devices…

When practicing takeoff stall ... entry for power-on stalls, the pilot establishes the airplane in the takeoff or climb configuration and slows the airplane to normal lift-off speed while continuing to clear the area of other traffic.
