    Flaps and slats on aircraft are powered by hydraulic system B and maximize at 20,000 feet. There are two inboard Krueger flaps and four outboard slats on each engine. Krueger flaps have one extended position while slats have either a sealed or fully extended position depending on the trailing edge flap position. Trailing edge flaps increase wing area and lift for takeoff and landing performance. They are mechanically controlled and hydraulically operated during normal operation, and electrically controlled and operated during alternate operations. The trailing edge flap system uses the flap lever and summing lever to direct hydraulic pressure to power the flap drive unit.
