## Discrepancy

ON DEPARTURE, SLATS WOULD NOT RETRACT. TRIED TO RESET FLAPS AND THEY WOULD NOT GO INTO THE DETENT 15/15.  AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WE GOT THE FLAPS AT 15/20. THE HANDLE NEVER WENT INTO THE DETENT.  CAME BACK AND THE SLATS/FLAPS SYS  1&2 FAULT LIGHTS ON THE OVERHEAD PANEL CAME ON.    R & R SLAT-FLAP HANDLE ASSY IAW MM 27-51-11-04/27-41-11-04.  OPS CHECKED IAW MM 27-54-00, P. CHECKED GOOD.
