Narrative:

After departure from grb the rh outbnd flap failed to fully retract upon selection of 0 degree flaps. Emergency abnormal checklist was referred to and complied with during climb out. Further flap retraction was determined to be impossible. After determining runway lengths and wind conditions at the time, a diversion to mke was elected. An emergency was declared due to reduced control availability and due to the requirement of a 'no flap' landing procedure. The landing was performed per company procedures in accordance with the aircraft flight manual emergency/abnormal procedure west/O incident.
