## Discrepancy

CPS/LIT - WHILE ON FINAL, THE FLAP SYSTEM FAILED.  IT WAS DETERMINED THE UPPER FLAP EXTEND CABLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAD BROKEN APPROXIMATELY A FOOT OUTBOARD OF THE ACTUATOR CHAIN ATTACH POINT.  THE CABLE COULD HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY ROUTED/RIGGED AND/OR THE CABLE TENSION COULD HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY SET.  THE CABLE WAS REPLACED ABOUT 10 HOURS PRIOR TO FAILURE.  (X)
