Narrative:
On our approach into jfk when we went to extend our slats we received a slat system #1 and #2 fault light on the overhead panel as well as an ECAM message. We recycled the slats and they never came out. We pulled out the checklist and went through the procedure. We determined that we did have flaps. We requested runway 31L a longer runway, advised that our approach speed would be higher than normal, but did not declare any emergency. The tower sent the emergency trucks out as a precaution and I said that would be fine. We landed without any problems and taxied to the gate. I received a call later to call the chief pilot and then called dispatch and explained everything that happened.
