## Discrepancy

DURING C-CHECK, INSPECTION OF FWD DOOR EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE BUSTLE LATCH CHAIN WAS FOUND DETACHED FROM THE SPLIT RING.  THE SPLIT RING HAD BECOME ELONGATED AND THE RING COILS HAD SEPARATED THUS ALLOWING THE CHAIN TO DETACH.  THE SLIDE WOULD NOT HAVE INFLATED IF REQUIRED.  THE CHAIN AND RING ASSY WILL BE REPLACED.
