## Discrepancy

DURING FLAP RETRACTION FROM 15 TO 5 L/E FLAP INDICATOR WENT FROM GREEN TO AMBER.  S/O LED POSITION INDICATORS SHOWED NR 6 LED RETRACTED.  CYCLING FLAPS CHANGED NOTHING.  LANDED WITH FLAPS 30 WITH A L/E FLAP AMBER WITH NR 6 INDICATING RETRACTED.  REPLACED NR 6 LEADING EDGE FLAP POSITION INDICATING SWITCH IAW M/M 27-82-001-4.  OPS CHECKS GOOD.
