## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON APPROACH PILOT SELECTED THE FLAP POSITION. THE RIGHT FLAP JAMMED AND TWISTED, INTERFERING WITH THE RIGHT AILERON CONTROL. PILOT LANDED AIRCRAFT SAFELY WITHOUT INCIDENT. ROLLER ON INBOARD FLAP TRACK FAILED, THUS BINDING THE FLAP DURING TRAVEL CAUSING THE FLAP TO TWIST.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
