## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF FROM FRG WHEN THE FLAPS WERE SELECTED UP, THE INBD & NACELLE PANELS RETRACTED WHILE THE OTBDS REMAINED AT 15°.  THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A DISAGREEMENT WARNING ON THE ANNUNCIATOR PANEL.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO FRG & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A COMPLETE FLAP SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK & CYCLED THE FLAPS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. THE SAME TYPE DISAGREEMENT OCCURRED ON THE NEXT TAKEOFF & AGAIN THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO FRG & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MX FOUND THE RT OTBD FLAP SHROUD INBD ROLLER BEARING SUPPORT BRACKET DAMAGED.  THE SUPPORT BRACKET & ROLLER BEARING WAS REPLACED IAW EMB 120 AMM 57-52-02 & THE SYS CHECKED SATISFACTORY.
