Question posed, by "Shore Guy":
"... An earlier question has not, to my knowledge, been answered - What was the flap setting on landing?"
My guess is that the PRESS
reporter made a few
errs in transcribing a VERBAL briefing offered by the investigating authority. The NTSB are bystanders, observers, and participants -- but the NTSB offered NO printed Preliminary Rpt. Similarly, the manufacturer carefully repeated statements carried in the press report (not their reading of the FDR).
Later, we might be offered better data. For now, suspect that the "Vref" cited was erroneous (but maybe the touchdown spd of 148KIAS was accurate).
