An Envoy Embraer ERJ-175, registration N244NN performing flight
AA-4227 from Austin,TX to Reno,NV (USA) with 46 people on board, was descending towards Reno when the crew stopped the descent at 11,000 feet reporting they had a message pop up of a flap failure and needed to run checklists. The crew subsequently inquired about runway conditions at Reno and decided to divert to Sacramento,CA (USA) declaring emergency. The aircraft climbed to 18,000 feet enroute to Sacramento and landed safely on Sacramento's runway 35L at a rather normal speed.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Sacramento for about 3 hours, then completed the flight to Reno arriving in Reno with a delay of about 3:20 hours.
