Narrative:

On departure aircraft experienced a flap failure in the takeoff (flaps 10 degrees) setting. We proceeded on runway heading until reaching a safe altitude (15000 ft MSL). Advised the tower/departure control of flap malfunction and decided to return to make a precautionary landing. Checklist procedures for the malfunction were complied with. The precautionary landing was made above the normal landing weight limitation. Landing was smooth and non-eventful. Once landed; our taxi was normal. We deplaned and went into the FBO. Upon returning to aircraft we noticed that the left fuse plug had blown. Our maintenance director was made aware of the situation. Maintenance personnel were made aware of the situation and are going to perform an overweight landing inspection as well as address the flap malfunction and the blown fuse plug. Maintenance has advised me that per the aircraft maintenance manual; the left and right main landing gear wheel assembly and tires may need to be removed and replaced. At this point; the aircraft is to be inspected and a course of action will be developed to isfy maintenance requirements. Maintenance personnel will handle the inspection and replacement process at this point. Callback converion with reporter revealed the following information: although aircraft landed over structural weight limit; aircraft performance charts indicated that weight was within runway and performance limits for conditions.

Narrative: ON DEP ACFT EXPERIENCED A FLAP FAILURE IN THE TKOF (FLAPS 10 DEGS) SETTING. WE PROCEEDED ON RWY HDG UNTIL REACHING A SAFE ALT (15000 FT MSL). ADVISED THE TWR/DEP CTL OF FLAP MALFUNCTION AND DECIDED TO RETURN TO MAKE A PRECAUTIONARY LNDG. CHKLIST PROCS FOR THE MALFUNCTION WERE COMPLIED WITH. THE PRECAUTIONARY LNDG WAS MADE ABOVE THE NORMAL LNDG WT LIMITATION. LNDG WAS SMOOTH AND NON-EVENTFUL. ONCE LANDED; OUR TAXI WAS NORMAL. WE DEPLANED AND WENT INTO THE FBO. UPON RETURNING TO ACFT WE NOTICED THAT THE L FUSE PLUG HAD BLOWN. OUR MAINT DIRECTOR WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SIT.

CALLBACK CONVERION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: ALTHOUGH ACFT LANDED OVER STRUCTURAL WEIGHT LIMIT; ACFT PERFORMANCE CHARTS INDICATED THAT WEIGHT WAS WITHIN RWY AND PERFORMANCE LIMITS FOR CONDITIONS.
