The Canadian TSB reported that initial examination found no flaps anomaly. The aircraft was ferried to Yellowknife,NT (Canada) for detailed maintenance inspection. Spindle gap checks, inboard flaps cable booms, flap tracks and more were checked with no fault found. The flaps were cycled a number of times showing normal operation. Maintenance suspected a rock from the previous landing had lodged itsself in the flap's actuating mechanism. The Canadian TSB commented: "While it is rare, this type of snag has occurred before."
