Narrative:
After departing the pilot flying called for flaps 0 degrees through 1;000 feet AGL. The flaps were selected 0 and speed around 100-105 KIAS. As the flap indicator approached 0 we received a flap asymmetry along with a pusher safe aural warning. The flap CAWS remained illuminated and the pusher CAWS extinguished. After running the QRH; we elected to return. We landed with the flaps set in the affected position and executed a 0 flap landing. We landed without further incident.
