There are TWO things involved here - flaps and airspeed. When the aircraft is 'clean' and speed above approx. 238 kts, the outboards are locked out. If either the aircraft is 'dirty' or the speed is below 238, the outboards bcome active; stops Red Arrow type roll rates at cruise speeds.
This is for the 744, BTW. The 76 may be different.
