Stella has been quoted as calling a recent aviation accident "an act of God." You know, something out of human control, like having an eagle drop a tortoise on your bonce. She's got nothing to do with acts of God, and, it would seem, not a lot to do with improving aviation safety in Nigeria. So, that's why I thought of Stella.
Has Stella said anything noteworthy about this accident? I have to ask, because I am pretty far out of touch with the local scene.
I know very close to almost nothing about the Brasilia, aside from doing a short ride in a Brasilia sim once, just doing training with FSI Le Bourget for windshear encounters, but I bet that, if one is supposed to set take-off flap, trying to depart clean is a big no-no. Otherwise, why have the configuration warning?
