Seems like this thread is drifting into another regime not very relevent to the Madrid accident.

With what we know now they took off flaps up, the TOWS was inop because a relay failed causing another problem that was missdiagnosed because of the same relay causing the RAT heater to heat on the ground and it ended up in a fatal crash. The crew, not knowing the flaps were up, rotated , got airborn, got stick shaker and stall warning and crashed. If they had realized on rotation what the problem was they could have tried to get some flaps down and used the extra few thousand feet of runway to get airborn but they didn't. After over 2000 posts is there any more information to add to this thread?
