I was wondering, if the PM (at that time) didn't realize his mistake and not select flaps 30 (all assumption at this time of course), would the aircraft have glided further, maybe reaching the perimeter of the airfield? Or would it have stalled earlier because of higher stall speed? Is there a tradeoff? Did it slow down significantly faster and reach stall speed sooner?
