## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN FLAPS WERE SELECTED FOR APPROACH THEY DID NOT RESPOND, PILOT PROCEEDED TO DO A 0-DEGREE FLAP LADNING. DURING MAINTENANCE CHECKS, A FLAP RESET WAS CARRIED OUT. THE FLAPS RESPONDED TO 15 DEGREE SELECTION BUT WOULD NOT RETRACT BACK TO 0-DEGREES WITHOUT GOING ALL THE WAY TO 40 DEGREES AND HITTING THE DOWN LIMIT SWITCH, THEN FLAP WOULD RETRACT. RELAY K32 UP/DOWN WAS REPLACED.NOTE: SB 27-011R1 REFERS TO SIMILAR FLAP CONTROL PROBLEM AND WAS INCORPORATED SUBSEQUENTLY.
