OK to throw into the mix:
- previous operator standard was to wind back speed after requested flap selected, something like "speed check, flaps..." and then confirm "flaps..., green light".
- present operator is the same regards winding speed back after flap initiation ie "speed check, flaps..." but NO further confirmation after that (I assume it's assumed the flaps will reach their selected position - but certainly not verified by any standard call).
Fortunately present operators procedures are "flexible" so I continue to make the call for my own awareness.
Separate: from memory the Classic logic was that if you "selected gear down/flap15" and immediately wound the speed back you would get the gear warning horn until the gear was locked; this was revamped in the NG.
Maybe memory not so good, happy to be corrected.
Cheers!
