BTW here,s a little gotcha to go with this scenario- flap deployment failure and you only have 3200 ft of runway left plus a 500 foot grassy run off at the end ,all of this while doing 145 knots.
first you go to 'radar thrust' which is where you shove the throttles thru the radar.
call for flaps 5 on a Boeing or 1 on the 'bus or 8 (can I remember that far back) on the -80.
w/ no less than 1000ft remaining start the rotation
pull the airplane into the air and if you need a bit more authority, a few dits of nose up trim.
all this considering no other indications it will not fly.
