## Discrepancy

(CAN) ICE BUILD UP INTO THE IB FLAP COVER CAUSED THE FLAPS TO NOT GO FULL UP.  IT TRIPPED THE FLAP CIRCUIT BREAKER.  THE ICE CAUSED THE ROD TO BEND FROM THE STRESS OF TRYING TO MOVE THE FLAP UP.  IT WAS NOTICE BY SEEING A 50 AMP DRAW FROM THE FLAP MOTOR.  ROD REPLACED, ICE MELTED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE. (TC NR 20061020001)
