Narrative:

After takeoff clt, the leading edge flap indicator had a flap leading edge in-transit light on and also a trailing edge split flap of less than 1 degree, which makes a flap up landing necessary. We planned an approach to clt with VFR-WX but the WX deteriorated to 200 and 1 and with an aircraft on the runway we went around and elected to divert to gso which, had VFR WX, a 10000 dry runway. We landed uneventfully.

Title: LEADING EDGE AND TRAILING EDGE FLAP PROB.

Narrative: AFTER TKOF CLT, THE LEADING EDGE FLAP INDICATOR HAD A FLAP LEADING EDGE IN-TRANSIT LIGHT ON AND ALSO A TRAILING EDGE SPLIT FLAP OF LESS THAN 1 DEG, WHICH MAKES A FLAP UP LNDG NECESSARY. WE PLANNED AN APCH TO CLT WITH VFR-WX BUT THE WX DETERIORATED TO 200 AND 1 AND WITH AN ACFT ON THE RWY WE WENT AROUND AND ELECTED TO DIVERT TO GSO WHICH, HAD VFR WX, A 10000 DRY RWY. WE LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.
