## Discrepancy

DOOR 1L SLIDE AFT LWR MOUNT BRACKET BROKEN.  THE STEP BRACKETS OF SLIDE (LH & RH) ARE THE TWO BOTTOM ATTACHMENT POINTS THAT HOLD THE SLIDE ASSEMBLY ONTO THE AIRCRAFT DOOR.  THESE PARTS ARE STICKING OUT OF THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY AND ARE LIABLE TO DAMAGE ESPECIALLY DURING TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING.  WHEN THE ASSEMBLY IS DROPPED ACCIDENTALLY THE BRACKETS ARE THE IMPACT POINTS.  BRACKETS ARE ROUTINELY REPLACED WHEN FOUND BROKEN IN THE SHOP.
