Position flight controls and configure the aircraft for the existing conditions.
Bottom line
The pilot should ensure that the flaps and landing gear are in the proper configuration for the existing situation. Under no circumstances should a flap setting given in the AFM/POH be exceeded for takeoff. If air temperatures have increased since landing, make the proper allowance for reduced takeoff performance due to the change in density altitude.
