Can anybody tell me how to know the flap position if the flap indicator
freeze?
It happens on the SIM,during a normal approach affter trailing edge
flap disagree,the flap lever is 5 and the needles point to 1 .
Flyzhz - You've now edited your original post, but my comment still holds good.

The flaps have stopped at or around 1 because of a disagreement between each of the wing flaps and the asymmetry protection system has done the right thing by freezing any further flap movement. You've selected flap 5 and the flaps have stopped at 1... isn't that enough of a clue that there's something amiss? If, having selected flap and the flap failed to move... then by all means use the alternate system as per the QRH (with caution; because you DO NOT have any asymmetry protection during alternate operation).

I suspect that you're not what you might want us to believe i.e. in my book, you're most definitely NOT a professional pilot and more than likely an armchair pilot who "thinks" he knows what he/she's talking about.

Top Tip... learn how to spell!


Maby the warning systerm is wrong?I don't know.
You're right... YOU DON'T KNOW!
