Narrative:

On final approach to runway 25L at lax, approach had assigned a speed of 180 KTS to taxiway left. Aircraft was configured with gear down, flaps 20 degrees approaching taxiway left. Prior to taxiway left, copilot called for flaps 25 degrees and then 30 degrees and the landing checklist. EICAS showed a trailing edge flap disagreement message and flap indicator showed flaps at 265 degrees. The flap handle was moved back to the 25 degree position and approach speeds were updated for 25 degree flaps. Captain took control of the aircraft and landed uneventfully. The previous day, the aircraft had experienced a similar trailing edge flap problem. The copilot was not yet consolidated from B767 training. The WX was VFR with a dry 11096 ft runway available for landing. Because of the significant difference in aircraft time in type, the captain elected to land the aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A B767-200 CREW ON APCH TO LAX WERE UNABLE TO ATTAIN FULL FLAPS FOR LNDG.

Narrative: ON FINAL APCH TO RWY 25L AT LAX, APCH HAD ASSIGNED A SPD OF 180 KTS TO TXWY L. ACFT WAS CONFIGURED WITH GEAR DOWN, FLAPS 20 DEGS APCHING TXWY L. PRIOR TO TXWY L, COPLT CALLED FOR FLAPS 25 DEGS AND THEN 30 DEGS AND THE LNDG CHKLIST. EICAS SHOWED A TRAILING EDGE FLAP DISAGREEMENT MESSAGE AND FLAP INDICATOR SHOWED FLAPS AT 265 DEGS. THE FLAP HANDLE WAS MOVED BACK TO THE 25 DEG POS AND APCH SPDS WERE UPDATED FOR 25 DEG FLAPS. CAPT TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY. THE PREVIOUS DAY, THE ACFT HAD EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR TRAILING EDGE FLAP PROB. THE COPLT WAS NOT YET CONSOLIDATED FROM B767 TRAINING. THE WX WAS VFR WITH A DRY 11096 FT RWY AVAILABLE FOR LNDG. BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN ACFT TIME IN TYPE, THE CAPT ELECTED TO LAND THE ACFT.
