## Discrepancy

DCA - FLT 1282  EN ROUTE PBI TO DCA.  DURING PREPARATION FOR LANDING, THE TRAILING EDGE FLAPS ONLY DEPLOYED TO TWO DEGREES AND INDICATED UNEVENLY SPLIT.  THE CREW EXECUTED A MISSED APPROACH.  THE CREW RECYCLED THE FLAPS AND MADE A SECOND APPROACH.  THE FLAPS DEPLOYED NORMALLY AND THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE FLAP POSITION INDICATOR.  OPERATIONALLY CHECKS OK.
