## Discrepancy

DOOR 4 RIGHT SLIDE, AT OVERHAUL A BOLT WAS FOUND INSERTED IN THE SAFETY PIN LOCATION OF THE VALVE.  THE FIRING LANYARD WAS WRAPPED AROUND A INFLATION HOSE. THE SURVIVAL KIT ATTACHMENT CORD WAS LOCATED ON THE SIDE RATE COVER INSTEAD OF THE GIRT AREA. ONE OF THE SHEAR PIN RESTRAINTS WAS FOUND TO BE SHEARED. INSTALLATION OF A BOLT INSTEAD OF MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY PIN IS ACCEPTABLE PER UA AMM.  OTHER DEFECTS CAUSED BY IMPROPER PACKING.  AS SHOP AND PERSONNEL THAT PREVIOUSLY PACKED SLIDE ARE NO LONGER BEING USED, NO FOLLOW UP ACTION REQUIRED.
