## Discrepancy

DURING STALL RECOVERY WORK, THE FLAPS WERE BEING MOVED TO A 20 DEGREE POSITION WHEN THE LEFT FLAP RETRACTED TO FULL UP TRAIL POSITION AND RIGHT FLAP REMAINED DOWN (THIS OCCURRED AFTER A LOUD BANG).  THE ACFT ROLLED LEFT.  PILOT INITIATED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND LANDED PLANE.  LEFT FLAP CABLE BROKE AT SWAGED BALL END.
