Narrative:
Departed bna at XA26 local, good WX en route to mem, descent a little rushed, and runway assignment changed from runway 18C, to runway 18R due to gate assignment. While being vectored to runway 18R ILS course we were told of traffic from opposite direction, acquired same visually. We were vectored to a short visual to runway 18R and configured the aircraft for landing. Landing checks were called for and responded to. Inside 200 ft GPWS alerted pull-up. Discovered flap setting at 25 degrees and initiated a go around, maneuvering was uneventful, and a normal approach was made 11 mins later on runway 18R. First officer was briefed on the need to visually verify confign during landing checklist. His overall performance during trip reflects well on the yrs of experience he has in type, this likely is a momentary lapse in his normal performance level.

Title: A DC9-30 FLC PERFORMS A GAR AFTER THEIR GPWS ALERTS THEM TO A 25 DEG FLAP SETTING FOR LNDG DURING A SHORT APCH TO RWY 18R AT MEM, TN.
Narrative: DEPARTED BNA AT XA26 LCL, GOOD WX ENRTE TO MEM, DSCNT A LITTLE RUSHED, AND RWY ASSIGNMENT CHANGED FROM RWY 18C, TO RWY 18R DUE TO GATE ASSIGNMENT. WHILE BEING VECTORED TO RWY 18R ILS COURSE WE WERE TOLD OF TFC FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION, ACQUIRED SAME VISUALLY. WE WERE VECTORED TO A SHORT VISUAL TO RWY 18R AND CONFIGURED THE ACFT FOR LNDG. LNDG CHKS WERE CALLED FOR AND RESPONDED TO. INSIDE 200 FT GPWS ALERTED PULL-UP. DISCOVERED FLAP SETTING AT 25 DEGS AND INITIATED A GAR, MANEUVERING WAS UNEVENTFUL, AND A NORMAL APCH WAS MADE 11 MINS LATER ON RWY 18R. FO WAS BRIEFED ON THE NEED TO VISUALLY VERIFY CONFIGN DURING LNDG CHKLIST. HIS OVERALL PERFORMANCE DURING TRIP REFLECTS WELL ON THE YRS OF EXPERIENCE HE HAS IN TYPE, THIS LIKELY IS A MOMENTARY LAPSE IN HIS NORMAL PERFORMANCE LEVEL.
