I was wondering, after he got on the backside of the power curve and
committed to flight, could he have recovered it by putting out more
flaps?

doubt it. reducing the Aoa slightly might have gotten him out of it if he
used a very deft touch doing it and he did it shortly after getting
airborne, but it's hard to tell if he ever had a chance without more data.


My thinking was that by putting out more flaps he would immediately go
up the backside of the curve and increase ground effect too. Then he
might have been able to drop the nose a bit and accelerate? Whether
this would have worked is, of course, moot, but I was thinking would
this be a viable option or would it make everything worse?
