B777 skipping the flap positon while extending
Will the system let you skip the flap position while extending retracting eg. go straight from 1 to 15 or from 15 to UP, assuming the speed is OK (no load relief).

Why Not?
I'm not a 777 driver or engineer, but a seriously good guess:
Unless some other monitored parameter is violated, Why Not? As another poster asks, what other aircraft DOES require an interim stop? I've never heard of one. Has anyone?

Well it happened to me....from one straight to 15 and speed below 215 (773) , I 've got load relief msg....returned back to 5, msg disappeared. I am trying to look for the reason in a preprogrammed sequence in the FCU and induced error if it is skipped
FlyingStone go to a sarcasm forum or wherever if you do not have a technically proficient answer.

Do not expect me to go into a virtual bar fight because that still doesn't count as a fight.
I respect retired pilots but I have no time nor interest to explain the scenario to you why, when, where and how it happened.
I am interested in purely technical side of it....that is something I like to do when I am not busy commanding a B777.
So, like for the poster before...if you do not have a technical knowledge of the FCU and the high lift devices of a B777 please contribute to another discussion

1. Are you flying B777?
2. Do you know anything about the systems of B777?
3. Do you fly wide body aircraft?
4. Do you have training experience?
3. Are you presently a Captain?
I can say that you consider yourself funny with mostly useless one line answers...
I need a technical answer and not an insult, however asking for that on these
forums is a lost battle obviously

Dear, oh dear ... this sort of puerile nonsense may be pertinent elsewhere but not in this forum.
As most will understand I am slow to get annoyed ... can we return to the usual standard expected in TL, please ?
AoG can reflect upon his attitude from the sideline for a while ...

The 777 has a flap system that is capable of doing that. However the flap lever is on an indented track so this has to be done on purpose.This to prevent accidental flap movement.

On the flaps note for the 777(slightly off topic) but I wonder why flaps 25 not certified for autoland.

I suspect you are right about the reasons, rumour has it F25 autoland been done at least once........(it wasn't me, honest)...

Imagine you are doing a 1 engine inoperative landing. What flap setting options do you have? Then you do a go-around.....what flap setting will you call for? Your selection will likely skip a setting or two. Even a normal go-around from flap 30 skips the 25 position and goes to flap 20.
773 is certified for flaps 25 autoland
I suspect the reason is the one given by JammedStab.
