Narrative:

On approach at approximately 10 miles from the airport; I called for flaps 8 at 200 KTS on the downwind; after a second or so we got the flaps fail at zero degrees message. We requested vectors to give ourselves more time to go over the QRH. We advised ATC of the situation and because of the nature of the failure (flight controls) we declared an emergency. After completing all the required procedures; the flight controls were transferred to the captain. We executed a zero flaps landing; the landing was very smooth; no hard braking action was required. The rest of the crew acted very well and was very professional at all times. We landed safely and the flight ended uneventfully.
