## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES AT LGA TAIL CONE WAS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED FROM AFT INSIDE HANDLE.  THE TAIL CONE EMERGENCY SLIDE DID NOT DEPLOY.  NO OBVIOUS REASON  FOR FAILURE TO DEPLOY WAS FOUND.  LGA MAINTENANCE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED DAMAGE TO TAIL CONE AFT TIP AND REINSTALLED.  AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO MSP WHERE TAIL CONE WAS REPAIRED.  MSP MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ESCAPE SLIDE OPERATIONAL TEST DURING ACCOMPLISHMENT OF AMI 5350-01032-03, SLIDE DEPLOYED NORMALLY.  EVACUATION SLIDE WAS REPLACED AND AIRCRAFT HAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
