Narrative:
While configuring for approach; ECAM for flaps jammed appeared; along with the associated amber flap indication. We discontinued the approach; went to a holding pattern; declared an emergency; and completed the QRH procedures. Executed a zero flap approach; slats at 2 degree position. Approach speed was 163 KTS; weight 393000 pounds; and landing was uneventful. Procedures and CRM worked exactly like training. Very smooth application of our training.
