Narrative:
On approach into den, VMC, VFR winds 150 degrees at 7 KTS, speed brake extended, called for flaps 2 degrees. After about 2-3 seconds, got master warning and master caution ecams, and flap misalignment message. Ran ECAM. Attempted to contact using commercial radio, no joy. Slats indicated normal extension, flaps showed approximately 2.5 units extended. Landed normally. Information: aircraft felt lightly mushy in pitch, normal in roll. Consistent with what one would expect with full slats, partial flaps. Landing uneventful.
