April 2, 201214 yr Tonight while landing at KMSP on my second leg I had the aircraft configured a little early on the final approach phase. I had the gear down, spolier armed and called for flaps 30. I had the flaps at flaps 10 and then went right to 30. The f/o did this without a problem. I then called for the landing checklist. On the last item of that checklist dealing with the flaps,he challenged and I said, 30, green light. No response. I then said, set and got no response, I then said checked and got no response. I then said restart the checlist which he did. Same result when getting to flaps 30 challenge. Is there a hiccup if you call for flaps 30 and they get set before calling for the landing checklist?

April 2, 201214 yr I had a similar thing happening coming into Vancouver yesterday but not a bug, rather an ops issue on my side. VoxATC started me down late and thus I was high on approach and thus got a tad busy. On short final I was still not at flaps 30 and called the final checklist. Kudos to the FO he did the list upto the flaps and actually said to me "Waiting for the flaps" or something similar (very cool indeed actually) When I did get to flaps30 I was not sure how to proceed, beginning the checklist again or should the FO continue on with the checklist on his own?!?
April 2, 201214 yr Commercial Member I said, 30, green lightYou need to say: "Flaps 30 Green Light".You forgot the 'Flaps' part.Cheers, B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
