Narrative:

At approximately 2;000 ft. The captain (pilot flying) called for 'flaps approach.' at 1;500 ft the captain called for; 'gear down; before landing checklist.' the pilot flying then called for 'flaps down.' at this point the pilot flying noticed that the control yoke became very stiff and difficult to control bank / roll. The crew noticed that the flap indicator was stuck at the 80% position and did not indicate full down. The crew elected to leave the flaps in their current setting and continue the approach as the runway was in sight. The captain controlled the aircraft with rudder (yaw) and elevator (pitch) to guide the aircraft to the runway. During the landing rollout the crew noticed a burning smell and initially suspected tire smoke as a result of the side load landing. The crew taxied the aircraft to the ramp and shut down the engines and electrical system; leaving the flaps in their current position. On the post flight inspection the noticed that the flap had separated from its track. The roller cam and the bolt that normally holds it onto its bracket were missing. The outboard section of right flap was bent where it had contacted and jammed the inboard section of the right aileron. The aileron was also damaged.the aircraft had undergone repairs which involved the removal and replacement of both flaps and had flown 5 flights since the repairs. The captain entered the discrepancy into the aircraft maintenance log and informed the company operations and safety department.
