Narrative:
Flaps failed to extend past 25 degree to the 30 degree normal landing setting. We elected to divert to bwi with its longer runways, and nonwatery overrans. Charts indicated that sufficient runway was available at dca, but since we had not made a flap 25 degree landing ever, we felt the diversion was merited.
