First post ever...

You can take, approx, these figures:

Speed 250kts, F0 : BA 4° and thrust at 65%
Speed 210kts, F0 : BA 6° and thrust at 60%
Speed 180kts, F5 : BA 6° and thrust at 60%
Speed Vref + 5kts, F15 : BA 5° and thrust at 52%
Speed 140 kts, F25 : BA 4° and thrust at 52%
Speed Vref + 5kts, F30 : BA 2,5° and thrust at 57%
Speed Vref + 5kts, F40 : BA 1° and thrust at 62%

Off course this can be taken as a guidance and will change with weight, wind, etc....
But, I always used these figures to get used to the 737 during training.

With speedbrake I do not know, than it's an whole different ball game...
