Narrative:

This was what was written in the aircraft logbook upon landing: 'on approach, when putting down flaps, the (forward panel) leading edge flaps transit light (amber) would not go out and the leading edge flaps extension light (green) would not come on. The overhead 'leading edge devices panel' lights indicated normal. We landed with 15 degrees flaps per airline's QRH procedures and upon touchdown, (although very smooth), the (forward panel) 'leading edge flaps transit' light went out and the 'leading edge extension' light came on.' all 'non-normal' and company procedures were followed, including notifying company dispatcher, company operations, ATC, etc. Cockpit resource management was used on the flight deck and with the flight attendants. The passenger were kept abreast of the situation as well. The QRH procedures worked well. It's a great addition to our flight deck. The first officer was a 'new hire' (in his first yr) and performed very well with QRH procedures, company procedures, and CRM procedures (right out of the flight operations manual and poh). He did a fine job.
