Narrative:

#1 flight attendant, in jump seat for landing, noted an aborted landing, I entered cockpit and captain informed me to prepare passenger for a planned emergency landing due to flap lights showing inoperative on panel. Flight attendants were briefed, passenger were briefed, cabin cleared and ready. Lights to bright. Captain was informed by myself that checklist was completed. All took our jump seats. A very successful landing took place. My thanks to a wonderful cockpit crew and flight crew.
