## Discrepancy

AMA - FLIGHT 2812, DURING TAKEOFF THE CREW REPORTED A SUSPECTED FUEL LEAK FROM THE LT WING.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO AMA WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  CONTRACT MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND REMOVED AND REPLACED THE LEFT FLAPPER VALVE, OPERATIONAL AND LEAK CHECKED WITH NO DEFECTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
