## Discrepancy

HOLE FOUND ON LOWER SIDE OF UPPER TUBE.  SLIDE WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE.  SLIDE WAS REMOVED FROM AIRCRAFT AT NORMAL MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.  SLIDE FAILED AIR RETENTION TEST DUE TO WEAR DAMAGE ON INFLATABLE LOWER TUBE.  IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE SLIDE HAD BEEN PACKED CORRECTLY.  THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE WEAR DAMAGE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.  DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED BY PATCHING PER AIR CRUISERS CMM 25-61-32.
