## Discrepancy

IAH-  DURING FLIGHT 3642, AT CRUISE ALTITUDE THE CREW NOTED A FLAP FAIL MESSAGE AND RETURNED TO IAH AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE FLAP ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, PERFORMED A OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE FLAP SYSTEM AND NO DEFECTS NOTED.  PERFORMED A TEST FLIGHT, WHICH WAS SATISFACTORY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
