Narrative:

At FAF at lax (runway 25R ILS) we selected flaps 30 degrees. They had been at 25 degrees. The flaps did not extend beyond 25 degrees. Per operating manual volume 1; we decided to continue the approach and landing. We left the flaps at 25 degrees and added a couple of KTS to the reference speed. The approach and landing were normal. 'A' system pressure was about 105%; 'B' system pressure was about 69%. The refill mark appeared on the 'B' system after landing. I feel we handled the situation properly but wanted to send the report since we had to utilize an abnormal procedure and landing flap setting. We did not notify crash fire rescue equipment or the tower. After talking to maintenance on the ground; we left the flaps extended to 25 degrees to the gate.

Title: B737-800 LANDS WITH FLAPS 25 VICE 30 AS SELECTED.

Narrative: AT FAF AT LAX (RWY 25R ILS) WE SELECTED FLAPS 30 DEGS. THEY HAD BEEN AT 25 DEGS. THE FLAPS DID NOT EXTEND BEYOND 25 DEGS. PER OPERATING MANUAL VOLUME 1; WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE APCH AND LNDG. WE LEFT THE FLAPS AT 25 DEGS AND ADDED A COUPLE OF KTS TO THE REF SPD. THE APCH AND LNDG WERE NORMAL. 'A' SYS PRESSURE WAS ABOUT 105%; 'B' SYS PRESSURE WAS ABOUT 69%. THE REFILL MARK APPEARED ON THE 'B' SYS AFTER LNDG. I FEEL WE HANDLED THE SITUATION PROPERLY BUT WANTED TO SEND THE RPT SINCE WE HAD TO UTILIZE AN ABNORMAL PROC AND LNDG FLAP SETTING. WE DID NOT NOTIFY CFR OR THE TWR. AFTER TALKING TO MAINT ON THE GND; WE LEFT THE FLAPS EXTENDED TO 25 DEGS TO THE GATE.
