## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE C-CHECK INSPECTION OF FORWARD DOOR EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE, THE 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 SPLIT RING HAS BEEN REPLACED.  (K)
