## Discrepancy

THE RIGHT INBOARD TRAILING EDGE FLAP WAS FOUND TO BE DROPPING.  AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED.   INVESTIGATION FOUND DAMAGE TO THE INBOARD DRIVE LINKAGE WITH AT LEAST 3 DAMAGED PUSHRODS AND A CRANK BECAME FREE FROM THE MOUNTS AND TRUNNIONS CAUSING STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE.
