## Discrepancy

PILOT SELECTED FLAPS DOWN THEN NOTICED A ASYMMETRICAL FLAP CONDITION, FLAPS WERE SELECTED UP WHICH RESULTED IN THE CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPING.  AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE LEFT OUTBOARD FLAP, INBOARD TRACK HAD FRACTURED NEAR THE TIP CAUSING THE FLAP ROLLER TO COME OUT OF THE TRACK (SEE ATTACHMENT).  TRACK REPLACED AIRCRAFT INSPECTED AND RETURNED TO SERVICE.
