## Discrepancy

DEPARTING & DURING FLAP RETRACTION,  RECEIVED AN ECAM ALERT "FLAPS VANE JAM". COMPLIED WITH QRH, CYCLED THE FLAPS, AND UNABLE TO FIX  PROBLEM.  RETURNED TO DEPARTURE.  FOUND BOTH NR 1 & NR 2 SFCC'S FAULTED "LT VANE IN 2" ON  ARRIVAL.  RESET BOTH SFCC'S & RETRACTED FLAPS.  ALSO CYCLED FLAPS TO 40 & FULLY RETRACTED WITHOUT ANY FAULTS.  TROUBLESHOT IAW TSM 27-50-16 CHECKED ADJUSTMENT OF FLAP VANE DETECTOR UNIT  39CV ALL CHECKED NORMAL. R & R VANE RETRACTED SWITCH 39 CV PRECAUTIONARY BECAUSE BOTH SFCC FAULTED SAME SWITCH IAW M/M 27-56-15-05. C/W OPERATIONAL TEST OF FLAPS IAW M/M 27-54-00-05 ALL OPS CHECKS NORMAL  A/C OK FOR SERVICE.
