## Narrative

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

(-23) WHEN PILOT RAISED THE FLAPS DURING A GO AROUND MANEUVER AT PORT ORCHARD AIRPORT, THE FLAPS JAMMED APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES DOWN. THE PILOT ALSO NOTED THIS CONDITION JAMMED THE LEFT AILERON.  THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMER GENCY, DIVERTED TO TACOMA NARROWS AIRPORT, AND LANED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED BY ^PRIVACY DAT^ OF THE SEATTLE FSDO ON 04/13/2000.  DURING THIS INSPECTION, THE LEFT INBOARD FLAP TRACK SUPPORT STRUCTURE, P/N 1221010-15, WAS FOUND CRACKED, ALONG WITH THE FLAPS AND THE TRACK SUPPORT STRUCTURE DURING RETRACT OF THE FLAPS.  ONLY THE INBOARD TRACK OF THE LEFT FLAP JAMMED, CAUSING THE RETRACT MECHANISM TO PULL THE FLAP UP, DEFORMING AND TWISTING THE OUTBOARD PORTION OF THE FLAP, RESULTING IN INTERFERENCE WITH THE LEFT AILERON.
