At the present time, our company trains only to use less than landing flap (30) for single engine approaches.

One of the surprises in the bulletin I posted was that the flaps extend further at the 30 setting on the 767-300ER and the 767-300 with the "improved" flap system than in earlier models. This higher AOA of the flaps and perhaps its more exposed frontal area is probably what results in the vibration/pulsing.

Since my original post, I have received the revised section of the Boeing 757/767 Flight Crew Training Manual.

"No additional changes to operating procedures are required due to ice accretion on extended trailing-edge flaps. IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF ICE ACCRETION ON AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND RIDE QUALITY, AVOID HOLDING WITH TRAILING-EDGE FLAPS EXTENDED WHEN IN ICING CONDITIONS". (emphasis mine)

In our situation, we did not anticipate the extended time we spent at our assigned speed (170K), which required Flaps 5.
