## Discrepancy

FLAP UP SWITCH STICKING IN ALL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS CAUSING FLAP FAILURES IN FLIGHT AND ON GROUND.  FLIGHT CREWS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IF FAILURE OCCURS AND FLAPS ARE SET AT 15, 30 OR 40.  THE ONBOARD COMPUTER WILL NOT GIVE THE AIRSPEED WARNING AT 165 KTS.  BETTER SEALS OR DUST CAPS MAY SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
