Good job. Fix the flaps and use the jet another day.

Yes. Nice job, as far as the video can tell anyway.
I guess the passengers didn't pay the extra charge for Flap Maintenance - a voluntarily charge that most passengers disregard. (Tounge-in-cheek here guys!)

Still waiting for a Cessna driver to post that he does this all the time.

Better to have a flapless landing than with stuck asymmetric flaps.
Jurassic, just to keep you happy - I have had one unplanned flapless landing in a C152 - only one problem - I'm not "he". ;)

Us Jodel pilots think flaps are for wimps. If the aircraft doesn't have them then they can't fail.

So what's the speed at touchdown for a no-flap landing on a 738 compared to one with all the flaps hanging out?

llondel - all flaps up your approach speed is 55 knots higher than normal - 195-200 knots rather than around 140 knots.

Done. I don't usually bother with them in a heaving crosswind TBH joking apart. Well done to the Ryan driver.

I'm not sure how common, or how serious, a No Flaps landing is, but relatives on Sunday's VS250 (LHR-PVG) had a No Flaps landing at Shanghai
They described it as a fast and bumpy landing... but otherwise, no drama
[And yes, I know this is an old thread, but didn't see the need for a new one]

Seems like the same frame might have had another issue out of BCN (http://planefinder.net/flight/RYR707R/time/2015-02-26T10:00:00%20UTC)
PlaneFinder has it squawking 7700 at 09:48 this morning :hmm:

"Aircraft that landed without flaps more than a year ago may have had another issue with a different, totally unrelated system."
Hardly a reason to stop the press.
