Hi Nitpicker330,
I do not want to put you down in any way.
In training in the sim we all follow the QRH and get responses from the aircraftsystems as they should do. In real life time this can be totally different as in the books or sim. A heavy damaged aircraft can and will respont totally different than in the sim. The only way to know what was selected with the flaphandle is the flaphandle itself: the reaction of the system behind it depends on the integrety of the systems in the aircraft remains.
Really don't know what happended, investigation will reveal. The only thing I know is that a 800 or 900 on contaiminated runways are hard to slow down due to aquaplaning and a relatifly heavy aircraft on only 4 wheels. (like a 321)
apologize for my English grammar
