Gentlemen. Sorry to divert attention away from fuel for a moment
I have trawled through this massive thread and this fact does not appear to have been picked up, with regard to the credit the crew received for their "quick thinking", for reducing the amount of flap at the last moments.
I understand the command for a 'go around' was given, whereby the flap setting would be changed anyway from a landing configuration. If this is so, then the flap retraction and its subsequent benefit, was by default.
Was the command "go around" given?
