737 NG flap load relief

Hi all,

The 737 NG has a flap load relief system which retracts the flaps from 30 to 25 if the airspeed exceeds approx. 176 kts, or from 40 to 30 if the airspeed exceeds 163 kts.

Now suppose we have a blocked static port that causes the airspeed indication on the captain's or F/O's side to rise far into the red during descent. Will normal landing flaps (30 or 40) be available? The ALT disagree, Airspeed Unreliable and IAS Disagree procedures don't provide any clues.

Anyone able to shed some light?

Thanks!
