A Fedex Federal Express Airbus A300-600, registration N685FE performing flight FX-120 from Memphis,TN (USA) to Edmonton,AB (Canada) with 2 crew, was descending through 7000 feet towards Edmonton when the crew received a "SLAT SYS 1&2" indication upon selecting the flaps down. The crew cycled the flaps, the indication re-appeared however. The crew performed the related checklists, declared PAN PAN and continued for a safe landing with slats near zero and flaps at 40 degrees. Emergency services followed the aircraft to the apron monitoring for hot brakes, brakes fans were used to cool the brakes at the apron.
The Canadian TSB reported: "Company maintenance found the right torque tube limiter circuit breaker popped. The limiter breaker was reset and the right-wing flap gearboxes were inspected. Operational tests were carried out and the right-wing jackscrews were lubricated."
