Staying within copyright laws by not just copying definitions verbatim from another site makes it take longer to get these written, but it's the only way to do it right.

Flaps- Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons. The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed. (<- Copied from Google)
Try something like
Flaps- Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons. The flaps are lowered to produce more aerodynamic lift from the wing, allowing a slower takeoff and landing speed. (<- Copied from Google) When taking off a normal plane should deploy them sparingly, only 5 degrees or so, but when landing deploy more, up to maximum. Also be aware of the speed at which you deploy them so you do not stall the plane out. Occasionally when deploying flaps, often times incorrectly, your plane may pitch up abruptly. Flaps should not be confused with spoilers. And should be raised when taxing.

Starts engines normally using compressed air to start the main engines of the aircraft. It also provides electrical power whilst the engine are not running and provides air conditioning to the aircraft.
The APU is normally located at the rear of the aircraft, and you can normally see the APU exhaust at the tail of the aircraft.
