## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED THAT ON DESCENT DURING SELECTION OF FLAPS 8, RECEIVED A FLAPS & SLATS CAUTION MESSAGE.  DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND COMPLIED WITH AOM VOL 1 PROCEDURES.  NOTICED THAT FLAP LEVER HAD STOPPED SHORT OF THE FLAPS 8 DETENT.  ONCE FLAP HANDLE WAS REPOSITIONED,  FLAPS OPERATED NORMALLY.  ACFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND REMOVED FROM SERVICE.
