Unable to extend flaps during approach and flap indicator showed very slight split flap (asymmetry) with flap handle in the UP position. Executed missed approach and advised ATC. Ran appropriate checklists and concluded that a no flap/slat landing was required. Declared emergency with ATC; requested ARFF to stand by; contacted company; sent message to Dispatch. Approach and landing were uneventful. Described problem to Maintenance Supervisor and made entries in logbook.
On final; Captain called for flaps 1 then flaps 5. Noticed that flaps indicator indicated 0 flaps with a slight split to the indicator. Checked slat indication and they indicated up. Checked hydraulics; indication was normal. Captain asked for a go around. Proceeded to hold at 3;000 FT and follow QRH procedures. After QRH procedure was completed; Planed on a no flap landing. Declared an emergency and asked for ARFF equipment. Landed without further incident.
B737 flight crew reports inability to extend trailing edge flaps during approach. A go around is initiated; an emergency is declared; and the QRH is consulted resulting in a no flap landing.
