Envoy has the numbers to land flap 22, that’s the typical landing config. Pretty sure the numbers stacked up where they could land flaps 22 on that runway if they wanted to, but on runway conditions like that.
I don’t know why you wouldn’t bring it in flaps 45 just to reduce the vref and plant it, not a requirement but probably makes more sense.
Flap setting probably wasn’t the cause, could’ve simply have been bad technique, centerline discipline, bad braking and rudder control, who knows. Honestly it’s probably just as simple as they hit a bad patch.
The crew was led to believe that the runway was 5/5/5 and braking action med. So well within allowable limits for that aircraft, sounds like a dud report of prevailing conditions.
