## Discrepancy

RT IB FLAP BELLCRANK SHAFT SHEARED ON APPROACH FOR LANDING CAUSING ASYMMETRICAL FLAP CONDITION.  BELLCRANK SHOWED SIGNS OF BEING CRACKED FOR A LONG TIME.  FLAP SYSTEM WAS WAY OUT OF RIG.  OUT OF RIG PROBLEM CAUSED BY TWISTING OF BELLCRANK SHAFT AND FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS OF ROD END CAUSING UNDUE LOAD.
