finding the ammeter showing current on the RAT would have stopped the checklist BEFORE we got to the TOWS check.
I honestly can't remember if it was the cb's or not...it has been a long time (more than 10 years).
all the training...would have prevented it because the slats/flaps would have been properly set...see previous posts on killer items and checklist useage.
I think any pilot who upon takeoff saw and heard the HUGE warning of STALL and had been trained to command: firewall power flaps 15 would have saved the plane.
again, check the sylabus of training for the pilots and mechanics. if the pilots and mechanics had not been trained, you have the culprit.
