Narrative:
On base leg for approach after I called for flaps 5; we got a trailing edge assym message. Flap indicator showed at position 1 and needles were matched. We leveled at 3000 ft called for QRH and got vectors through the final while we completed the procedure per QRH. The right auto pilot remained engaged and thus no apparent flight control abnormalities were felt as we maintained min flaps speed flap 1. At the completion of the emergency landing checklist we advised ATC and prepared for another approach. With the winds calm we had a better than normal touchdown at a speed of approx. 168-173. Brakes were not applied above 100 knots and at the turnoff at the end the fire commander gave us a look over and noted no evidence of resultant problems. Flaps were left in the stuck position as we taxied and blocked into the gate.
