Narrative:

Problem occurred while retracting flaps from 2 degrees to 0 degrees. First officer brought it to my attention. Elected to continue to bdl as we had plenty of fuel and safety was not compromised. Asymmetry 1 split procedure used to set landing confign. Landed with outboard flaps at 1 degree down and flaps 30 degrees. The flap asymmetrical lookout was caused by a faulty indication on the right outboard flap indicator. This was evident as the outboard flap needle was showing 8 O'clock position (9 O'clock position is 0 degrees). I felt crew's performance was sluggish. The F/east had a hard time following the checklist. I could have made better use of my first officer. Everyone in the cockpit was new to the large transport. I had been flying first officer in heavy transport for last 3 yrs, first officer was recent upgrade from F/east in large transport, and F/east was recently hired off the street with no turbojet experience and no or little mechanical background. I felt our objective was accomplished safely and accurately, however crew coordination was a little lacking and sometimes sluggish. It seems to me that safeguards should be in place that would prevent all 3 positions in a turbojet from being occupied by crew persons all new to the aircraft. I don't think my situation was unsafe; it was cumbersome and put an extra load on me.

Title: LGT HAS ASYMMETRICAL WING FLAP INDICATION THAT LOCKED OUT THE OUTBOARD FLAPS.

Narrative: PROB OCCURRED WHILE RETRACTING FLAPS FROM 2 DEGS TO 0 DEGS. F/O BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTN. ELECTED TO CONTINUE TO BDL AS WE HAD PLENTY OF FUEL AND SAFETY WAS NOT COMPROMISED. ASYMMETRY 1 SPLIT PROC USED TO SET LNDG CONFIGN. LANDED WITH OUTBOARD FLAPS AT 1 DEG DOWN AND FLAPS 30 DEGS. THE FLAP ASYMMETRICAL LOOKOUT WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY INDICATION ON THE RIGHT OUTBOARD FLAP INDICATOR. THIS WAS EVIDENT AS THE OUTBOARD FLAP NEEDLE WAS SHOWING 8 O'CLOCK POS (9 O'CLOCK POS IS 0 DEGS). I FELT CREW'S PERFORMANCE WAS SLUGGISH. THE F/E HAD A HARD TIME FOLLOWING THE CHKLIST. I COULD HAVE MADE BETTER USE OF MY F/O. EVERYONE IN THE COCKPIT WAS NEW TO THE LGT. I HAD BEEN FLYING F/O IN HVT FOR LAST 3 YRS, F/O WAS RECENT UPGRADE FROM F/E IN LGT, AND F/E WAS RECENTLY HIRED OFF THE STREET WITH NO TURBOJET EXPERIENCE AND NO OR LITTLE MECHANICAL BACKGROUND. I FELT OUR OBJECTIVE WAS ACCOMPLISHED SAFELY AND ACCURATELY, HOWEVER CREW COORD WAS A LITTLE LACKING AND SOMETIMES SLUGGISH. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SAFEGUARDS SHOULD BE IN PLACE THAT WOULD PREVENT ALL 3 POSITIONS IN A TURBOJET FROM BEING OCCUPIED BY CREW PERSONS ALL NEW TO THE ACFT. I DON'T THINK MY SITUATION WAS UNSAFE; IT WAS CUMBERSOME AND PUT AN EXTRA LOAD ON ME.
