Just reading the report in the Aviation Herald link.
It says that the gear was selected down and then Flap 15 was selected, 20 seconds later Flap 10 was reached.
To me this implies that the flaps were selected from ZERO to 15 after the gear was selected down, it certainly doesn't take 20 seconds for the flaps to travel from 10 to 15. My company SOP is Flap 5 then gear down, Flap 10, Flap 15, Flap 35 (If using 35 for landing).
Does anyone else read it like that? And does anyone know the SOP's for Colgan?
Bsieker, if the Q400 wasn't prone to deep stalls then would it still be fitted with a stick pusher?
