OK hopefully the last question:


- on descent NOT in Vnav but MCP mode we can - in theory - set flaps 1, 2 or 5 at 250kts and maintain 250kts.


There is no limitation or mention made by Boeing in this case.


On takeoff in either Vnav or manually setting green dot we have 230kt protection - understood.
On descent in MCP we - in theory, as above - do NOT have any note or limitation.


Why are the LED's so important on takeoff but - potentially, in theory - not on approach??


I am well aware of recommended not to use flaps as speedbrakes/the alternate flap extension of 230kts etc etc which are side issues to the question.
Cheers!
