## Discrepancy

WITH FLAPS STUCK AT LANDING POSITION DURING WALK AROUND. INSPECTION REVEALED ANOTHER FLAP ACTUATOR SEAL SEPARATION.  A/C HAD JUST UNDERGONE A 200 HR INSPECTION AT WHICH TIME SEAL INSPECTED & FOUND TO BE IN PLACE. SEAL AREA IS COVED BY A COMPOSITE COVER WHICH IS SOMEWHAT SEE THROUGH BUT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A PHYSICAL CHECK OF SEAL POSITION ONLY A VISUAL.
