Thanks very much for your reply.

A long, long time ago in a land far away, I seem to recall we flew an ILS with flaps 25 and 140 knots.

At 1 dot on the GS, we called for flaps 40 and a lot happened all at once.

Back then, we flew with reference to fuel flows and never looked at N1 or N2.

My previous post about a flaps to 40 movement close in related to the idea that they were already coming down at 6-700 FPM, and if the captain was late with the trim, the nose wheel would hit first.

Regards.
