FLAPS
What are they?
are some aerodynamic surfaces located on the wings that extend to increase the lift of an airplane. These are activated during takeoff and landing.
Where are you? And how do they work?
The flaps are located on the trailing edge of the wing. Operation is very simple: They stretch and bend down a hydraulic system powered by modifying the symmetry of the wing.
effects they produce:
- Increased lift. Increased
- resistance. Some
- increase wing area.
- Chance to fly at lower speeds without stalling.
- less is required runway length in takeoffs and landings.
- The approach path becomes more pronounced.
- create a tendency to bite.
- At the time of the plane deflection tends to rise and lose speed.
How do I turn?
was activated from the cockpit through a lever on the pedestal next to the levers of the engines. This lever has a number of positions depending on the pitch we want the flaps adopt. 
There is an indicator in the cockpit that indicates the position of the flaps. This tool is essential, as the drivers have no other means to verify the operation of the flaps. Types of flaps
SLATS
What are they?
mobile devices are creating a gap between the edge of the wing and the rest of the plane.
Where are you? And how do they work?
are located on the edge of the wing.
Its operation is similar to the flaps, the channel to the top surface deflect a stream of high velocity air increases lift allowing to reach higher angles of attack without stalling.
How do I turn?
operate in conjunction with The slats and flaps have three positions: retracted, extension
average and total length, depending on the choice of flap. Flaps and Slats Both are operated uniformly by the same palace.
