## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CLIMB OUT, THE INBOARD FLAP POSITION INDICATOR FAILED TO MOVE WHEN FLAP WERE SELECTED FROM 5 DEGREES TO 2 DEGREES. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO POINT OF DEPARTURE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE FAULT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED DURING POST FLIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING. THE INDICATOR WAS REPLACED AS A PRECAUTION AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE
