Flaps 15 normal configuration landing 737

[baranca]

Just found in my lionair QRH inflight performance:

normal configuration landing distance flaps 15

it is for a -900 in my old QRH for the -800 there is no normal landing distance chart for flaps 15

any ideas?

Flap 15 is an option where you are performance limited, particularly in the missed approach from high or hot and high aerodromes.

Flap 15 was an option on the -800 into Kunming, China which is c6300 AMSL (IIRC).

[de facto]

It is a normal flap setting for the FAA not JAA/EASA nor CAAC.
Your Lion Air QRH is the FAA version,check the top of the page.
Follow your Airline SOPs,they most probably dont allow flaps 15 for routine ops even if limited by climb gradient.
