Acknowledged but the operator had an SOP along the lines of full flap requiring to be spun up regardless of height so the approach flap was necessary to comply. Only looking at a modest speed delta .. not anywhere near limit speed for the setting.

In any case, provided that one monitored profile progress critically (and we were real good at doing mental arithmetic) there was never a problem with the final transition to landing configuration.
