Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
The just-released Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin CE-13-27 reports of a broken flap cable on approach where the pilot was unable to retract the other flap, and had to control the aircraft using full opposite aileron. Point being that retracting flaps may not help if a cable snaps. For lengthy runways, you may wish to consider a new normal of only 1/3 flaps if you are worried about this issue.
