## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED DUE TO: FLAPS REMAINED AT AN INDICATION BETWEEN FLAPS 5 AND 10 WHEN SELECTED TO A LOWER FLAP SETTING, HAD TO USE ALTERNATE FLAPS EXTENSION; AIRCRAFT ABORTED APPROACH AND LANDED SAFELY AT MIA. REMOVED AND REPLACED FLAP POSTION INDICATOR. OPERTIONAL CHECK GOOD. PER AMM 27-58-02.
