A dreadful accident! As much as the Dr Reason stuff has made me want to reach for my gun in the past, this accident could be the poster for the next 10 years.

I fly a variant of the MD82. The members talking no flap and pilot commanded TR deployment (with one locked out) know what they are talking about.

A return to the gate and subsequent go go go from ground people are pressures.

Operators still using the aircraft (not sim) for training have mostly trended away from abbreviated checklists for circuits and make every landing a full stop
