## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON APPROACH AN IN-TRANSIT INDICATION WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE NR 6 L/E SLAT. THE CREW ELECTED TO RETURN TO VANCOUVER WHERE THEY LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE NR 6 L/E SLAT WAS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY BUT THE L/E SLAT POSITION SWITCH WAS UNSERVICEABLE. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
