## Discrepancy

ON SHOT FINAL, PILOT LOWERED FLAPS AND EXPERIENCED A SPLIT FLAP CONDITION.  PILOT RAISED FLAPS TO COUNTERACT THE CONDITION.  AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED SAFELY.  THE RIGHT FLAP CABLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED AT THE FLAP MOTOR.  THE CABLE WAS REPLACED AND THE FLAPS RIGGED PER MANUAL.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
