## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON A WALKAROUND, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE WING FLAPS WERE EXTENDING VERY SLOWLY WITH AN AUDIBLE GRINDING NOISE.  UPON INSP, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FLAP ACTUATOR HAD A WORN INPUT SHAFT AND FAILED COUPLER TO THE ELECTRIC MOTOR.  THE ACFT WAS SNAGGED AND ACTUATOR REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
