2) Can you be more specific with your question?
It is not only movement of the lever. If Slats are jammed when you move the lever to zero you also retract the flaps to zero. But when flaps are jammed it forbids you from doing the same i.e. from moving the lever to zero thereby preventing you from retracting slats. He asking why the difference?
