Narrative:
Approaching gilby at 6000 ft MSL; we were directed to slow to 210 KTS. As we lowered the flaps at approximately 220 KIAS; leading edge light came on forward panel. We followed the appropriate checklist; and determined problem was leading edge asymmetry problem. We lowered the flaps via the alternate system; followed checklist speeds and configns; and performed an uneventful landing.
