Peter,

The Saab only uses Flap 0 or Flap 15 for take off. Usually out of the ports with longer runways (SYD, MEL, BNA, ADL etc) flap 0 is used. However sometimes with runway length, the condition of the surface (being wet or dry), take off weight, etc, flap 15 may need to be used.

You'd love a Bangladesh airline I know.

Ryan I saw your photos on Myaviation which brings back memories of my first ever flight which was on Kendell Saab 340A VH-KDK Adelaide to Kingscote way back in 1992. That aircraft is still in service today.

I lived in Wynyard (Tasmania) right near the airport for the last 2 weeks because of a project I was involved out there and I saw VH-ZRZ 5 times this week and several other newer Saabs. Lotsa photos uploaded on Myaviation.net of the Saabs and other little machines.
