## Discrepancy

DURING THE SCHEDULED TIME-CHANGE OF THE L1 DOOR ESCAPE SLIDE/RAFT ON N276GX AT ALEXANDRIA (AEX), MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL FOUND THE TRANSPORTATION (SHIPPING) SAFETY PIN STILL INSTALLED FROM THE UNIT'S PRIOR INSTALLATION AT MIAMI (MIA). WITH THE PIN INSTALLED, THE SLIDE/RAFT COULD NOT HAVE INFLATED OR DEPLOYED.
