737 Flight Crew Training Manual
If the operation of flaps is in doubt, leading and trailing edge flap position should not be changed unless it appears that airplane performance immediately requires such action. Consideration should be given to the possible effects of an asymmetrical flap condition on airplane control if flap position is changed. If no flap damage exists, wing flaps should be operated as directed in the associated NNC. Anytime an increasing rolling moment is experienced during flap transition, (indicating a failure to automatically shutdown an asymmetric flap situation) return the flap handle to the previous position.
Unusual events adversely affecting airplane handling characteristics while airborne may continue to adversely affect airplane handling characteristics during landing ground roll. Aggressive differential braking and/or use of asymmetrical reverse thrust, in addition to other control inputs, may be required to maintain directional control.
Recall Checklists
After flight path control has been established, accomplish the recall steps of appropriate NNCs. The emphasis at this point should be on containment of the problem. Execution of NNC actions commences when the airplane flight path and configuration are properly established.
Accomplish all applicable NNCs prior to commencing final approach. Exercise common sense and caution when accomplishing multiple NNCs with differing direction. The intended course of action should be consistent with the damage assessment and handling evaluation.
Communications
Establish flight deck communications as soon as possible. This may require use of the flight deck interphone system or, in extreme cases of high noise levels, hand signals and gestures in order to communicate effectively.
Declare an emergency with Air Traffic Control (ATC) to assure priority handling and emergency services upon landing. Formulate an initial plan of action and inform ATC. If possible, request a discrete radio frequency to minimize distractions and frequency changes. If unable to establish radio communication with ATC, squawk 7700 and proceed as circumstances dictate.
Communications with the cabin crew and with company ground stations are important, but should be accomplished as time permits. If an immediate landing is required, inform the cabin crew as soon as possible.

Damage Assessment and Airplane Handling Evaluation
Unless circumstances such as imminent airplane breakup or loss of control dictate otherwise, the crew should take time to assess the effects of the damage and/or conditions before attempting to land. Use caution when reducing airspeed to lower flaps. Make configuration and airspeed changes slowly until a damage and controllability assessment has been accomplished and it is certain that lower airspeeds can be safely used. In addition, limit bank angle to 15 degrees and avoid large or rapid changes in engine thrust and/or airspeed. If possible, conduct this assessment and handling evaluation at an altitude that provides a safe margin for recovery should flight path control be inadvertently compromised. It is necessary for the flight crew to use good judgement in consideration of the existing conditions and circumstances to determine an appropriate altitude for this evaluation.
The assessment should start with an examination of flight deck indications to assess damage. Consideration should be given to the potential cumulative effect of the damage. A thorough understanding of airplane systems operation can greatly facilitate this task.
If structural damage is suspected, attempt to assess the magnitude of the damage by direct visual observation from the flight deck and/or passenger cabin. While only a small portion of the airplane is visible to the flight crew from the flight deck, any visual observation data could be used to gain maximum knowledge of airplane configuration and status and could be valuable in determining subsequent actions.
The flight crew should consider contacting the company to both inform them of the situation and as a potential source of useful information. In addition to current and forecast weather, and airfield conditions, it may be possible to obtain technical information and recommendations from expert sources. These expert sources are available from within the company as well as from Boeing.
If controllability is in question, consider performing a check of the airplane handling characteristics. The purpose of this check is to determine minimum safe speeds and appropriate configuration for landing. Limit bank to 15 degrees and avoid rapid thrust and airspeed changes which might adversely affect controllability. If flap damage has occurred, prior to accomplishing this check, consider the possible effects on airplane control should an asymmetrical condition occur if flap position is changed. Accomplish this check by slowly and methodically reducing speed and lowering the flaps; lower the gear only if available thrust permits.
