Where in Heaven's name did you retrieve that accident image? That is one I saw that I believed to be in IR3. If not, it should have been.
Mechanically, I am more comfortable than aerodynamically, so I would ask for clarification, as the wreck image seems to show a fully extended flap actuator, not a retracted one. The dog is fully exposed aftward, whereas if stowed, it would be sheltered forward, and along the the top of the carriage. Also, I believe though the images and schematic are oriented correctly, they show opposite side wing attachment. Aren't the Rotators outboard?
Also, isn't the carriage extended aft first, before the rotator deflects the flap surface downward? So the actuator could be stowed, and the FLAP still extended FLAP1?
Thx, Captain.
