What was found

(CAN) FLAPS WERE FOUND TO BE LOOSE. AFTER INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLAP ARMS THAT JOIN THE FLAP CONTROL TUBE TO THE FLAP RODS HAD ELONGATED BOLT HOLES DUE TO WEAR. THE ELONGATED HOLES ARE THE ONES WHERE THE CLEVIS BOLTS ATTACH THE ARMS TO THE FLAP CONTROL TUBE. BOTH FLAP ARMS WERE FOUND WITH APPROXIMATELY THE SAME CONDITION.
