AXE123
I'm not accusing anyone, and I just might be more informed than you think, but the fact of the matter is that a Van went down wich was obviously heavy and no engine problems were reported, this led to the death of innocent lives. You can only use flap or retain your current flap setting if you 1 or both of the following, AIRSPEED and EXCESS POWER.
If you dont climb with flap you dont have one of these, more flap will kill you and raising it increases your stall speed. There was not allot of options for the poor pilot, but how did he get in that situation, prevention is better than cure.
