I flew four times last week in my 172. Lovely, no probs at all.
Today I went to fly again. My usual pre-startup checks failed because when I went to check the flaps, nothing happened. Nothing. No motor noise, no unusual switch tension etc, nothing at all. Just silence.
The circuit breakers were all fine. No obvious reason for the lack of flap travel. Last trip they played fine.
So, anyone care to guess what the problem might be, before I call in the engineers tomorrow?
