The report said flaps on the wings which would have reduced the drop to the ground - which was more than 2m - were not fully deployed due to the speed the aircraft's engines were shut down.
That could explain the difference between certification tests done with manufacturer employees in their 30s having to be jumping 1,3 m . and real life , where flaps cannot be lowered an pax above 65 having to jump 2 m ..
