Have you B777 pilots landed with flaps 20 ? normal situation with very light landing weight.

Flaps 20 is not a NORMAL landing flap for the -200, so why would someone use it?

As Mutt states, Flaps 20 is not a NORMAL Flap setting for the B777 (All variants).

Flaps 20 is one of the available Flap settings for One Engine Inoperative, and for my operator, the preferred setting for OEI operations.

Done hundreds in the simulator, and 1 for real. No big deal, very straight-forward

Also in a two engine but low fuel scenario. I suspect for reduced body angle and to avoid uncovering pumps.

I've only done only of these and it was absolutely straightforward, almost no difference to a flap 25 landing.

Hope this helps.
