## Discrepancy

AFTER T/O ON SLAT RETRACTION, GOT THE SLAT DISAGREE LIGHT.  FLAPS WERE UP.  RECYCLED FLAPS TO NO AVAIL.  FOLLOWED POM PROCEDURE AND RETURNED TO DFW.  REQUIRED 2 UNITS OF RUDDER TRIM TO THE LEFT FOR LEVEL FLIGHT.  OPERATED NORMALLY DURING EXTENSION FOR LANDING.  FOUND LEFT WING SENSOR OUT OF ADJUSTMENT.  ADJUSTED SAME.
