Read the full NTSB narrative
The instructor and student were practicing stalls, and on a recovery from a stall the instructor heard a loud 'bang', followed by a roll to the left. After ensuring that the aircraft was under control, the instructor performed a visual inspection of the aircraft, and discovered that the left flap was retracted, while the right flap was still extended. After troubleshooting without success, the instructor had the student fly the aircraft back to the airport. They landed the aircraft without any problems. Post accident examination by the NTSB Materials Laboratory revealed that the flap cable was fatigued and had fractured due to fatigue.
