... and when falling off, it damaged the hydraulics so left slats lost the pressure and retracted, while those on the right wing remained
extended. The pilot couldn't see that (damaged electronics). And even if he did, there was no procedure for that situation: they followed
'single engine out' SOP.
Now, following the checklist, the airplane reduced the speed according to the manual, but unfortunately at that speed the left wing stalled,
while the right had normal lift. No amount of rudder and ailerons input could prevent the plane overturning.
