(very fast and probably on take off flaps)
I honestly doubt you could see the difference from the ground between a normal or fast approach.

If the same flapsetting is used for landing as was used for takeoff, which I sincerely doubt, then I would call it landing flaps afterwards :-). There are offcourse several landing flap settings, and it seems wise to me, in case of an immediate return where you're very heavy, to make use of full flaps and reduce the groundspeed before touchdown.

I must admit, we have a standard procedure, to land in case of an engine failure with a little less flaps, although technically we're allowed to land with full flaps.

PS And offcourse a big compliment to the crew!
