## Discrepancy

THE NR 2 LEADING EDGE SLAT DID NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF.  THE LEADING EDGE TRANSIT LIGHT WAS ON AFTER FLAP RETRACTION AND A VISUAL CHECK CONFIRMED THE NR 2 SLAT WAS STILL EXTENDED.  A RECYCLE WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE SLAT REMAINED EXTENDED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO IAH WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE NR 2 LEADING EDGE SLAT ACTUATOR AT FAULT.  THE SLAT ACTUATOR WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED IAW MM 27-81-41, LEAK AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
