True or False: If slat travel stops, flaps will continue to their selected position?

Explanation:
The movement of flaps and slats is controlled by separate hydraulic actuators with their own travel limits. A stop on the slats only limits how far the leading-edge devices can extend; it does not automatically halt the trailing-edge flaps. When you command a flap position, the flap actuators continue moving toward that position until they reach their own stop, regardless of the slats’ status. So even if slats hit their travel limit, the flaps can still reach and hold the selected flap setting.
