b737ng flap load relief

hello wk,

not a big deal at all. flap load relief is a protection system which apparently worked as mr. boeing advertised.
just 2 things to do : 1) make a tech log entry for maintenance. 2) submit an sair (safety alert initial report), indicating what happened. normally that's all there is to do & nothing more to be heard of. just a word of caution, if this would happen within the "landing gate"(below 1000 ft agl/imc or 500 ft agl/vmc), a standard go around( cause aircraft is not stabilized) is mandatory as per sop's.
kind regards,
bm,
