As Wiggy says, it depends on the type. I flew the VC10, 747, A320/1 and A330 and all were different. the VC10, I can't remember; the 747 up to F20 on both Classic and 400. The A320 is up to Config 3 and the A321 up to Config 2. the A330 is up to Config 3 normally, but ours have the steep approach modification so we can land in Kathmandu which allow up to Config full - but don't give you all the spoilers. The couple of times I forgot which aircraft I was flying in the 321 led to some buffet, so clearly the wing doesn't like it.
