Just some clarification here;
BoeingMEL;It seems you are the "know all" guy here, I was questioning the possible causes, and not determining any conclusions.
1. An engine flame out or engine stall is more likely to happen to a rear engined a/c's, It is the fact and If you are a pilot you should know that!
2. The normal speed on approach is about 1.3 of your stall speed, so one can say that you don't have much margin for error.
3. About impossibility of stalling where your MOCA is 2000 feet above mountains, gives you a very limited time to recover. Some crew even had problem to recover it from more than 30000 feet high (check out the West Carribean MD-82 flight 708 crash in Venezuela)
4. Looks also like CFIT etc, but let's not bragg about everyone's comments and assumptions at the pickpoint.
So, let's be observant and not nasty shall we???
