Narrative:
The flight was scheduled dtw-las. During climb out a flap/slat problem was encountered. We leveled at 10000 ft, held over fwa, worked the problem using established book procedures, then diverted to msp while a takeoff slat/no flap landing approach was uneventfully accomplished. The reason for divert to msp was to facilitate both the need to burn off fuel to bring the aircraft below normal landing weight and for maintenance reasons. We required nearly 2 hours to burn off fuel to get as light as possible for the landing.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B757 ENCOUNTERED FLAP-SLAT PROBS ON TKOF AND CLBOUT. FLAP PROB COULD NOT BE RESOLVED AND FLT DIVERTED TO MSP.
Narrative: THE FLT WAS SCHEDULED DTW-LAS. DURING CLBOUT A FLAP/SLAT PROB WAS ENCOUNTERED. WE LEVELED AT 10000 FT, HELD OVER FWA, WORKED THE PROB USING ESTABLISHED BOOK PROCS, THEN DIVERTED TO MSP WHILE A TKOF SLAT/NO FLAP LNDG APCH WAS UNEVENTFULLY ACCOMPLISHED. THE REASON FOR DIVERT TO MSP WAS TO FACILITATE BOTH THE NEED TO BURN OFF FUEL TO BRING THE ACFT BELOW NORMAL LNDG WT AND FOR MAINT REASONS. WE REQUIRED NEARLY 2 HRS TO BURN OFF FUEL TO GET AS LIGHT AS POSSIBLE FOR THE LNDG.
