Narrative:
Flap control fault occurred with flaps 0 degrees en route mco-eyw (orlando, fl -- key west) climbing through approximately 10000 ft MSL. Complied with checklist, but flap control would not reset. Control fault remained with flaps unusable and indicating 5 degrees or less. Rather than continue for flaps up landing at eyw (4800 ft runway), diverted back to mco where adequate runway is available to land flaps 0 degrees utilizing 60 percent of runway. Landing at eyw with flaps 0 degrees may not be possible according to data available within 60 percent or 70 percent of the available runway, but may be possible utilizing 100 percent of the available 4800 ft of runway. This flaps 0 degrees landing at eyw would certainly be of an emergency nature and not merely an abnormal procedure.

Title: RETURN LAND AFTER LTT EXPERIENCES ACFT EQUIP PROB MALFUNCTION THAT AFFECTED ITS CHOICE IN RWY CONFIGN RWY LENGTH LIMITATION.
Narrative: FLAP CTL FAULT OCCURRED WITH FLAPS 0 DEGS ENRTE MCO-EYW (ORLANDO, FL -- KEY WEST) CLBING THROUGH APPROX 10000 FT MSL. COMPLIED WITH CHKLIST, BUT FLAP CTL WOULD NOT RESET. CTL FAULT REMAINED WITH FLAPS UNUSABLE AND INDICATING 5 DEGS OR LESS. RATHER THAN CONTINUE FOR FLAPS UP LNDG AT EYW (4800 FT RWY), DIVERTED BACK TO MCO WHERE ADEQUATE RWY IS AVAILABLE TO LAND FLAPS 0 DEGS UTILIZING 60 PERCENT OF RWY. LNDG AT EYW WITH FLAPS 0 DEGS MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE ACCORDING TO DATA AVAILABLE WITHIN 60 PERCENT OR 70 PERCENT OF THE AVAILABLE RWY, BUT MAY BE POSSIBLE UTILIZING 100 PERCENT OF THE AVAILABLE 4800 FT OF RWY. THIS FLAPS 0 DEGS LNDG AT EYW WOULD CERTAINLY BE OF AN EMER NATURE AND NOT MERELY AN ABNORMAL PROC.
