## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED ON FINAL APPROACH INTO ATL AFTER RECIEVING A ECAM SLAT FAULT MESSAGE. FLIGHT CREW ACCOMPLISHED ECAM PROCEDURES AND THE MESSAGE CLEARED. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AT ATL AND TAXIED TO THE GATE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. MAINTENANCE ACCOMPLISHED GVI OF FLAP AND SLATS. ALSO ACCOMPLISHED BITE TEST OF THE SFCC-1/2 SYTEM FAULTING (LEVER OUT OF DETENT FOR MORE THAN 10 SEC). CYCLED FLAP/SLAT SEVERAL TIMES NO FAULT.
