He very specifically said it’s nearly impossible to take off without flaps because plane will aggressively complain about taking off in incorrect configuration.
He also very clearly said that new footage made RAT deployment obvious and that’s why he changed his opinion.
Not defending him or trying to convince you and I’m certainly not an expert, but he knows what he’s taking about (a lot of his prior analysis was confirmed by investigators) and is not afraid to admit to being wrong. I have no reason not to trust him.
“The plane will complain a bunch” is VERY DIFFERENT than “physically possible”.
Also, my point was that anyone claiming pilot error was jumping to conclusions. Just because he retracted his opinion doesn’t mean he was magically not gnawing on his foot before retracting an ignorant opinion.
So I’ll say it again: “Anyone who claimed pilot error without qualifying that shitty opinion to hell should not be listened to for information.”
I don’t think you watched either video.
