Narrative:

During the flap retracting phase the amber cas flaps fail message illuminated. The flaps failed indicating 8 degrees. We notified ATC and had delayed vectors for ZZZ. We completed the abnormal checklist for flaps fail. We proceeded to ZZZ for landing. On first approach we executed a go around. On the second approach we landed uneventfully. After landing; we contacted maintenance control to inspect the aircraft.
