I have read almost every post on this thread, but nowhere can I recall reading that either the FDR nor CVR made any reference to confirming that flaps were selected, merely that they were not deployed.
I recall that quality of CVR was poor and that the response to "flaps" was something vague like "OK" rather than the correct response,but I cannot recall that the report mentions anywhere an audible click or other mechanical noise confirming that the lever had been moved, nor a reading from FDR confirming lever movement ( if indeed that is measured as well as flap position )
Can you clarify where/what verifies that flaps were selected apart from "OK" ?
