The controls shall be such that when the flap has been placed in any position upon which compliance with the performance requirements is based, the flap will not move from that position except upon further adjustment of the control or the automatic operation of a flap load limiting device. Means shall be provided to indicate the flap position to the pilot. If any flap position other than fully retracted or extended is used to show compliance a result of inadequate clearances with the performance requirements, such means shall indicate each such position. The rate of movement of the flaps in response to the operation of the pilots control, or of an automatic device shall not be such as to result in unsatisfactory flight or performance characteristics under steady or changing conditions of air speed, engine power, and airplane attitude (See § 3.109 (b) and (c).)
