## Discrepancy

Right Wing escape slide failed to deploy for flight attendant training purposesl The metal bar that the lacing goes through caught on the lip of the slide compartment preventing the slide from deployiing completely. Cause of interference as yet undetermined but suspected at this time to be normal settling of fabric product over time. Replacement overwing escape slide installed.
