Narrative:

During approach to landing at pvd, received a flap fail message upon flap selection. Consulted our aircraft handbook and coordinated with our maintenance control. Pvd approach control provided us with vectors around the airport during this time, maintenance control instructed us to reset the system circuit breakers, which cleared the message. The flaps then worked normally for approach and landing. As directed by maintenance, during taxi-in, we cycled the flaps numerous times with no further problems.
