## Discrepancy

BUF - FLT 638 - DURING DESCENT INTO BUF, CREW EXTENDED FLAPS TO 5 DEGREES AND THEN TO 10 DEGREES BUT RECEIVED A FLAP LIGHT.  FLAPS WOULD NOT EXTEND BEYOND 5 DEGREES.  CAPTAIN DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND THE FLIGHT LANDED AT BUF WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND RELACED THE FLAP POSITION INDICATOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  (M)
