If both flaps channels or both slats channels fail, you lose AP 1 & AP 2.



In my opinion, having your flaps locked at exactly Config 3 or Full seems quite remote.
If it would happen, refering to 3.02.27 p1 (talks about less than config 3) and 4.05.70 p16 (talks about abnormal config), you can autoland if really needed, if your flaps are not at an abnormal config (So only at exactly Config 3 or Full)
Personally, I would only do it if there is absolutely no other option.
