Default Fixed Position Slats OK?

That's a great post with the actual manual for the aircraft. Turbofan engines are hungry monsters and stall very easily if their inlet airflow is interrupted. We can't even run engines with thrust reversers deployed below 60 kts on the real thing or the engine can stall on its own, turbulent reverse thrust.

An engine stall is, after all, defined as 'An interruption of the smooth flow of air through the engine'
