If I control the flap or speed brake with a mouse or button instead of a separate device, will it not be a problem to fly even if I don't do calibration on the efb?

I use a translator, so the sentence may not be smooth

Hi,

No problem.

The EFB is only for the external connected hardware. The mouse or F6-F7 keys work independently.
