Narrative:

Slat problem, unable to deploy. Did 0 degree slat, 40 degree flap landing. Arriving jfk around XA45Z, about 30 mi out slowing to 235 KIAS, we started to configure the aircraft for the approach to ILS runway 31R at jfk. When we deployed the slats, we got a slat system 1/2 fault. We went to the A300 checklist to work the problem. We ended up landing with 0 degree slats, 40 degree flap set-up for landing. We declared an emergency with new york approach control. Told them we had 91 passenger and a crew of 9 on board with 14500 pounds of fuel onboard. We changed our runway to the ILS to runway 31L for the landing. I made a PA to the passenger and informed them what the problem was and that we had everything under control and would be landing soon. I also talked with our #1 flight attendant and told him what was going on. I briefed him and told him to brief all the other flight attendants and to move people if needed. My first officer and I completed all checklists in regard to the slat problem and the approach check and landing checklist. We had crash fire rescue equipment waiting for us at jfk. Our approach speed was around 150 KIAS. We touched down within the first 1500 ft of runway 31L and went to the end of the runway where crash fire rescue equipment met us along with maintenance. We asked maintenance to make sure our brakes and tires were ok and that the slat and flaps were ok too. Maintenance said everything was fine and we taxied in, leaving our flaps down for maintenance to work on. We parked at the gate at jfk and left the aircraft. I felt the crew did an excellent job and that CRM between the pilots and the flight attendant was excellent. The passenger were very relaxed and did what they were told. All in all, a very nice ending to a long day.
