What was found

(CAN) DURING APPROACH, THE CREW RECEIVED A FLAP FAIL CAUTION MESSAGE WHEN THE FLAPS WERE SELECTED FROM 0 TO 8 DEGREES. THE EICAS FLIGHT CONTROL PAGE WAS INDICATING 0 DEGREE ON BOTH SIDES. THE CREW CONTINUED THE APPROACH AND COMPLETED A FLAPLESS LANDING WITHOUT INCIDENT. NO EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED. THE SYSTEM WAS RESET, THE FLAPS SET TO 8 DEGREES AND THE AC WAS FERRIED FOR MAINTENANCE. ALL FLAP ACTUATORS WERE REMOVED AND SENT TO THE SHOP. THE LT NR1 FLAP ACTUATOR FAILED THE -60 DEGREES TORQUE CHECK. DECISION WAS MADE TO REPLACE ALL FLAP ACTUATORS. FLAP ACTUATORS WERE REPLACED, ADJUSTED, TESTED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED. A SUCCESSFUL TEST FLIGHT WAS CONDUCTED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED INTO SERVICE. (TC NR 20071102001)
