Human Factors
Continued landing from an unstabilized approach. We thoroughly briefed and flew the ILS 10L at FLL. We received a Too Low Flap GPWS warning below 500 feet and failed to execute an immediate missed approach. The First Officer was flying an outstanding approach and was stabilized in all parameters but I had missed the flaps 30 detent despite the fact that I had 'completed'; the Before Landing Checklist and read; and pointed to the flap indicator. I still missed it. I set the flaps to 30 and we landed. Cumulative fatigue and startle effect were definitely contributing factors. I know better than that. I should have commanded an immediate go around.
Landing 10L in FLL. Approach briefed thoroughly. Stable approach the whole way. Captain completed the landing checklist at appropriate time. Read and confirmed flaps 30 but missed that flaps were at 25. At near 500 ft we got the flaps too low on the GPWS. The captain and I immediately realized the flaps were only at 25. He selected flaps 30. The aircraft and approach were stable. Seeing that we did not have much fuel and there was a lot of traffic in the area; we decided the safest course of action was to land the aircraft. The landing was continued in a stable manner in the touchdown zone. Taxied to the gate and thoroughly debriefed that the proper course of action would have probably been to do a go around.
