## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED A 'POP' WAS HEARD WHEN SELECTING 4TH NOTCH OF FLAPS ON LANDING.  POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE.  AT NEXT TAKEOFF WITH FIRST NOTCH OF FLAPS AIRCRAFT ROLLED TO THE RIGHT.  FLAPS WERE RETRACTED AND SAFE LANDING ACCOMPLISHED.  IN-DEPTH INSPECTION FOUND BRACKET UNDER CABIN FLOOR BROKEN.  FLAPS WORKED NORMALLY, HOWEVER, WHEN FORCE WAS APPLIED TO RT FLAP, IT MOVED UPWARD APPROXIMATELY 15 DEGREES.
