Quadamp says :
"There are two certain data to the moment:
a.- flaps were at 0º at the moment of impact
b.- we ignore the preferred configuration selected by crew."
Karelx has quoted from ATC transcript :
"TWR: 85572 tell me from where you plan T/O?"
"Tu-154: 85572 from the beginning of RWY, heavy"
Taking the above on board, would it not be reasonable to assume some flap and slat would be expected for "heavy" t/o.
