The first point is to understand what flaps do.
They create more wing surface area when they are extended, therefor creating more lift at slow speeds.
TAKEOFF:
Depending on the aircraft you are flying, may be a Cessna 170 or a 747, it all depends on the manufacturer of the aircraft. They may say at when you have X weight, you need no flaps but when you have a completely heavier weight, you may need flaps.

What advantage do flaps and stats give an airplane?
Flaps and stats increase lift for takeoff and slow you down, for landing.
When are the flaps on an airplane most useful?
They are useful for takeoff to get lift and at landing for slowing down the plane.
A plane usually extends flaps from its wings during takeoff and landing What is a reasonable explanation?
The flaps help to increase lift, which is essential to the landing and takeoff phase[s].
Which parts are used to control lift at low speed for takeoff and landing?
Flaps and slatsSlats and flaps
Do you use flaps to land an airplane?
Yes, Flaps are both used to create lift (on takeoff) and to slow the aircraft (on Landing)
Does a plane have to have flaps deployed on takeoff?
No. Not always. For many airplanes, it may be required if the airplane is fullly loaded.
How do planes maneuver?
the wing flaps go up and down
Why do planes have flaps on the wings?
Airplane wings are designed to be most efficient when at high altitudes, traveling fast, while providing as little drag as possible. Unfortunately this design inst the best for takeoff and landing. Flaps are used to change the shape of the wing to accommodate takeoff and landing requirements. Most planes have flaps on the front of the wings (leading edge flaps) and at the back of the wings. During takeoff flaps increase lift so a plane can take off with limited runway length and lower speeds. As the plane gains speed the flaps are retracted. On approach and landing you want to fly as slow as possible so the flaps are deployed in increments till landing speed is achieved. Landing slower means less runway needed to stop.
What are the flaps on an airplane called?
They are quite literally called flaps, and they make the plane go up, down, left and right.
What happens when the flaps of a paper airplane are up?
slows the plane down
What do helicopters do that airplains cannot?
They can hover and land and takeoff stright up or down
How do you land in fsx?
gear down, flaps down, throttle reduce, and line up with the runway.
