Slats failed to extend during approach. QRH procedure initiated; slats remained stuck at 0. Entered holding; completed QRH procedure; declared an Emergency (precautionary) landed on the longest available runway; very flat approach at higher than normal speed. Little to no flare; manual throttle reduction to minimize float; landing distance based on maximum braking and appears very short in comparison to normal landing distances.
We were able to extend the flaps to 40 degrees. It was pretty much a non-event. We had plenty of fuel because we were tankering fuel and weather was clear and calm. It worked just like the simulator.
An A310 crew reported that after the slats failed to extend they declared an emergency; completed the QRH and landed uneventfully with flaps 40; no slats.
