## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE FLIGHT WAS RETURNING FROM A "FUNCTIONAL CHECK FLIGHT" WHEN INBOUND TO JFK THE AIRCRAFT MADE A MISSED APPROACH DUE TO A REPORTED FLAP PROBLEM. ON THE GROUND, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL FOUND THE NBR 3 LH FLAP JACKSCREW ASSEMBLY JAMMED. THE JACKSCREW WAS REMOVED AND A NEW ASSEMBLY WAS INSTALLED. OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE FLAP SYSTEM WAS GOOD AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. A REVIEW OF THE PAST 30 DAY HISTORY SHOWED 16 RELATED FLAP PROBLEMS HAD OCCURRED SINCE 05, MARCH 95. VARIOUS COMPONENTS HAD BEEN CHANGED AND NUMEROUS CHECKS WERE MADE UP UNTIL THE TIME THE NBR 3 LH FLAP JACKSCREW ASSY WAS CHANGED. THE FUNCTIONAL CHECK FLIGHT AS NOTED ABOVE WAS MADE TO CHECK OUT THE FLAP SYSTEM AFTER REPAIRS WERE ACCOMPLISHED AT JFK.
