Exclamation Company won't allow Flaps 15...

Reading the posts above, if seems that Mr Boeing has constructed a flap setting which would allow the 777 to fit in with ATC requests - 15deg. - rather as the 737 has flap settings which are not often used.

They are useful in certain circumstances, however and if properly briefed, make sense. Maybe the company concerned should receive a copy of this thread - to highlight the problems.
