A flap support mechanism includes a carrier beam on which a flap is mounted. The carrier beam is rotatably mounted at a fixed rotational axis and has a pair of flanges, each flange having an aperture, and a channel extending aft from the pair of flanges. A fuse pin is received through the aperture in each flange. A coupler link is attached to an actuator at a first end and pivotally engaged to the carrier beam by the fuse pin. Extension of the coupler link by the actuator rotates the carrier beam from a stowed position to a deployed position. Responsive to a moment induced on the flap and carrier beam by a ground contact load, the fuse pin is frangible to shear releasing the coupler link to translate into the channel.
