Narrative:
Arriving in bos at 3000 ft, 210 KTS on downwind runway 4R, first officer called for flaps 5 degrees. I put the flap handle in the 5 degree detent. Just prior to the flaps reaching 5 degrees, we got an EICAS message indicating trailing edge flap disagreement and a status message indicating trailing edge flap shutdown. At this point, the flaps would not move. We accomplished the irregular checklist. Initially there was some confusion as to what flap setting we should use for landing. In addition, we got an intermittent EICAS message saying leading edge flap asymmetry. We could not talk to maintenance control or dispatch directly due to our low altitude, so we relayed through bos operations. We declared an emergency and made an uneventful landing.

Title: B767 CREW HAD THE FLAPS AND SLATS LOCK OUT AT BOS.
Narrative: ARRIVING IN BOS AT 3000 FT, 210 KTS ON DOWNWIND RWY 4R, FO CALLED FOR FLAPS 5 DEGS. I PUT THE FLAP HANDLE IN THE 5 DEG DETENT. JUST PRIOR TO THE FLAPS REACHING 5 DEGS, WE GOT AN EICAS MESSAGE INDICATING TRAILING EDGE FLAP DISAGREEMENT AND A STATUS MESSAGE INDICATING TRAILING EDGE FLAP SHUTDOWN. AT THIS POINT, THE FLAPS WOULD NOT MOVE. WE ACCOMPLISHED THE IRREGULAR CHKLIST. INITIALLY THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION AS TO WHAT FLAP SETTING WE SHOULD USE FOR LNDG. IN ADDITION, WE GOT AN INTERMITTENT EICAS MESSAGE SAYING LEADING EDGE FLAP ASYMMETRY. WE COULD NOT TALK TO MAINT CTL OR DISPATCH DIRECTLY DUE TO OUR LOW ALT, SO WE RELAYED THROUGH BOS OPS. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG.
