Flap load relief on 738, big deal?
hello,
this is what happened. Vectors for an ILS approach, we were cleared for intercept and were still 1500` high(Controller didn`t let us down). Anyway it ended up being 2 dots above glide, we switched off the autopilot and flew manually to catch the glide from above. Extended the flaps to 30°, pitched quite heavily down...Then I saw for just a short time the flap load relief light. I can`t remember the speed we had at this point but we ended up stabilized nicely at 1000`AGL with an uneventful landing.
My question, I know this should never happen, but is this now a big deal?
Do we have to fear any consequences??
Thanks for any comments.
