I am heartened that some of the last posts mention the desire for statistical studies to observe the failure rate of crews vs the failure/success rate of warning or backup systems. I mention this same need in the early pages of this thread when flaps were first postulated as a problem area.

OK it's good that we recognize the need for data. However, don't expect that this data will be placed in the public domain like this board. This data is the stuff that the safety experts at both the operators/Pilot unions and the designer routinely use in providing safety related updates to procedures or designs. Both the regulator and the investigator community should attend to this review to ensure that it is used in developing recomendations relative to this accident investigation.

I await with interest the results.
