Answers:
They are one and the same... please read on. I even included the URL where I got this explanation...

PANCAKE [pancake] thin, flat cake, made of batter and baked on a griddle or fried in a pan. Pancakes, probably the oldest form of bread, are known in different forms throughout the world. The relative ease of baking on hot stoves or on a griddle has resulted in a variety of pancakes. Old English batter was mixed with ale. German and French pancakes, leavened by eggs and much beating, are baked very thin and served with jam or jelly. The French crêpe suzette is folded or rolled and heated in a sauce of butter, sugar, citrus juice, and liqueur. Russian blintzes, usually prepared with buckwheat, are thin, crisp pancakes, and commonly served with caviar and sour cream or folded over and filled with cream cheese or jam. Mexico has its tortilla, which is often served folded over a bean or meat filling and topped by tomato sauce. In the United States pancakes are sometimes called battercakes, griddlecakes, or flapjacks and are usually leavened with baking powder or baking soda and are served with syrup. A pioneer favorite, still surviving in some localities, is the buckwheat cake.

i guess flap jacks are generally thinner than pan cakes
Pancake — ... is a batter cake fried in a pan or on a griddle with oil or butter

flapjack - a flat cake of thin batter fried on both sides on a griddle

A flajack is thinner.
The flap-jack is a brilliant invention (also called a pancake). Usually the two are synonymous but the Flap jack does not exist in New England, Canada or below the border to Mexico.

to get technical, a flap jack is thinner than a pancake... a poor man's crepes if you will, but if you call a pancake a flap jack, you will only get eyeballed if you live in an urban or suburban area.
notin
Where I live (the north east of England), a flap jack is like an oaty bar with syrup baked in the oven and a pancake is made with batter. They are totally different.
None...flapjack is another term for a pancake.
same thing
