## Narrative

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

FOLLOWING SLOW FLIGHT MANEUVERS, THE PILOT INCREASED POWER AND STARTED BRING THE FLAPS UP IN FIVE DEGREE INCREMENTS.  THE PILOT FELT THE AIRCRAFT BEGIN TO ROLL TO THE RIGHT AND COUNTERED WITH EXTRA FORCE ON THE CONTROL YOKE.  THE PILOT FELT AND HEARD A POP AND THE CONTROLS RETURNED TO NORMAL.  AT THIS TIME A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE FLAPS INDICATED AN ANOMALY.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO KSPI AND AN UNEVENTFULL LANDING WAS MADE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
