Has anybody heard any mention of a flap re-selection during the dive?
Never heard of it...and we went through that accident in excruciating, gut-wrenching detail at the school house.
Alas, the ATR is not quite that sophisticated. If you select flaps 300kts above Vfe, they will go down - it'll ***** at you, but there is no overriding.
