## Discrepancy

ON APPROACH, THE PILOT NOTICED THE RIGHT FLAP DID NOT EXTEND.  THE LEFT FLAP WAS PROMPTLY RETRACTED AND A SAFE LANDING WAS MADE WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE INVESTIGATION FOUND THE RIGHT INBOARD FLAP BELLCRANK P/N 82905-03 WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN THROUGH THE TUBE PORTION PREVENTING OPERATION OF THE RIGHT FLAP.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT BELLCRANKS DESERVE SPECIAL ATTENTION DURING INSPECTIONS.
