NBO crash
LH 747-200B was a passenger flight, and it did not really get airborne hardly.
(NBO hot n high.....) a/c contacted ground 1200m from end of runway and stayed almost in one piece but caught fire.
although crew blamed, a Boeing mod to prevent re occurrence of slats not deploying plus a T/O config warning added was undertaken...
i recall a BA 747 had a near miss with this issue too?
In the National 744F crash video i cannot see the slats position, but flaps and gear are out.
if no slats were out on this a/c i have a feeling they would not have reached this altitude in the first place? yes/no?
Spanair md80 MAD had no slats out and they did not get airborne.
