My 1973 PA32-300 POH notes 10 degrees of flaps on the climb table. I have always taken this to also mean that the best rate of climb is achieved with 10 degrees of flaps (FOR MY PARTICULAR AIRPLANE).

Because why would they publish a rate of climb table with anything but the best possible rate of climb numbers?

So I often climb with 10 degrees of flaps. Thoughts?
