## Discrepancy

WHILE ENROUTE TO DCA, FLIGHT CREW RECEIVED AN AMBER FLAPS FAIL CAS MESSAGE.  AFTER CONSULTING WITH MX CONTROL, THEY ELECTED TO CONTINUE TO DCA.  CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH APPROACH, AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.  ONCE ON THE GROUND, CREW REBOOTED THE AIRCRAFT AND FUNCTION TESTED THE FLAPS, NO FLAP FAIL MESSAGE POSTED, AN INFO ONLY WRITE UP WAS ENTERED.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
