Narrative:

During deceleration at 3000 ft for visual approach; slats #1 and #2 faults annunciated (no spfi light). Discontinued the approach with radar vectors to accomplish QRH procedures. Cycled the flap handle and no change to the faults. Added 30 KTS to the reference speed and landed at 163 KTS with 40 degree flaps and low autobrakes. Emergency vehicles in place. Landing was normal and exited the runway at taxiway. Brake temperatures normal. Emergency vehicles secured and taxi to the gate uneventful. 200 passenger and a crew of 7+2. Winds 280 degrees at 20 KTS gusting to 29 KTS; 10+ mi visibility and 5000 ft broken. Flight attendants not notified during approach because I was busy talking to ATC while the first officer reviewed our checklist procedures and then I focused on the landing which appeared to be only unusual for the increased approach and landing speed. Briefed them after landing.

Narrative: DURING DECELERATION AT 3000 FT FOR VISUAL APCH; SLATS #1 AND #2 FAULTS ANNUNCIATED (NO SPFI LIGHT). DISCONTINUED THE APCH WITH RADAR VECTORS TO ACCOMPLISH QRH PROCS. CYCLED THE FLAP HANDLE AND NO CHANGE TO THE FAULTS. ADDED 30 KTS TO THE REF SPD AND LANDED AT 163 KTS WITH 40 DEG FLAPS AND LOW AUTOBRAKES. EMER VEHICLES IN PLACE. LNDG WAS NORMAL AND EXITED THE RWY AT TXWY. BRAKE TEMPS NORMAL. EMER VEHICLES SECURED AND TAXI TO THE GATE UNEVENTFUL. 200 PAX AND A CREW OF 7+2. WINDS 280 DEGS AT 20 KTS GUSTING TO 29 KTS; 10+ MI VISIBILITY AND 5000 FT BROKEN. FLT ATTENDANTS NOT NOTIFIED DURING APCH BECAUSE I WAS BUSY TALKING TO ATC WHILE THE FO REVIEWED OUR CHKLIST PROCS AND THEN I FOCUSED ON THE LNDG WHICH APPEARED TO BE ONLY UNUSUAL FOR THE INCREASED APCH AND LNDG SPD. BRIEFED THEM AFTER LNDG.
