What about the flap alarm 2 days before the crash ?
I did not find discussed in the thread the statement (allegedly based on first-hand evidence) that the maintenance log has an entry, 2 days before the crash, reading "Sistema auto slat falla cuando se extienden los slats" (auto slat failure upon slat extension); a failure that according to the article recurred on subsequent flights.
El sistema de despegue falló dos días antes de la tragedia / EL MUNDO
What exactly is this "auto slat failure" warning?
TIA - a puzzled engineer
