Open Ended Flap - is this acceptable ?
PHL to ORD on an A319 and I saw this out of the window - looks like an angle bracket was riveted over the end of the starboard flap assembly but left a pretty sizeable hole at one end.
Is this considered acceptable ?

A quick Google image search (search terms "A319 flaps") seems to indicate not only is it acceptable, but unless the other photographers all rode on the same airframe as you, normal.
I can't see any images without that strap and gap.
