A Westjet Encore de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GWFE performing flight WR-3540 from Kamloops,BC to Calgary,AB (Canada) with 71 passengers and 4 crew, was climbing out of Kamloops when the crew selected the flaps to 0 degrees, the flaps however stopped moving at 5 degrees. The crew worked the related checklist without success and decided to continue the flight to Calgary. On approach the crew declared PAN PAN and worked the abnormal flap landing checklist. The aircraft landed safely about 65 minutes after departure.
The Canadian TSB reported maintenance checked the flap drive and flap control systems, both systems tested functional. The aircraft was returned to service.
