FLAP PROBLEM REQUIRED ALT FLAP EXTENSION PROC.

Narrative

THIS IS A THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORTS THAT WENT INTO COCKPIT RESOURCE MGMNT TRAINING. EXCELLENT CREW TRAINING LED TO A VERY UNEVENTFUL LNDG WITH A FLAP PROBLEM. FO FLEW ACFT ON RADAR VECTORS WHILE SO AND I COMPLETED A PAGE OF ABNORMAL PROCS. GOOD INPUT BY FO CONCERNING FUEL REMAINING; GOOD INPUT BY NEW SO ON PROCS DURING THE ALTERNATE FLAP EXTENSION. AFTER ALL ABNORMAL AND NORMAL CHKLISTS WERE COMPLETED AN EMER WAS DECLARED. I TOOK CTL OF ACFT AND LANDED. GREAT HELP FROM MSY APCH. COMFORTING TO KNOW ALL THAT EMER EQUIP WAS STANDING BY IN THE EVENT OF A BLOWN TIRE OR ANY OTHER EVENT THAT MAY REQUIRE THEIR SVCS. TODAY WITH FUEL AT DEST CLOSE TO FAR MINS AT TIMES; YOU DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH TIME TO MAKE A LOT OF IMPORTANT DECISIONS. WILL LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPENING OF THE 9000 FT RWY IN MSY IN 1992. IN SUMMARY; IT WAS GOOD TO KNOW 1 PLT WAS JUST FLYING THE ACFT. THAT LET ME AND THE SO COMPLETE THE ABNORMALS WITHOUT DIRECTING OUR ATTN ELSEWHERE. GOOD SIMULATOR COCKPIT RESOURCE MGMNT TRAINING MADE IT A MUCH EASIER PROC. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE INPUT TO THIS GREAT NEW TRAINING IDEA.
