## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE LT IB FLAP ASSY WAS DROOPING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE CABLE ASSY WAS FOUND FRAYED AND BROKEN. A NEW CABLE ASSY WAS INSTALLED IAW MM 27-51-5 AND FUNCTIONED SERVICEABLE IAW MM 27-51-0.  NO FURTHER PROBLEM DURING SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT.
