## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: DURING TAKE OFF, AIRCRAFT LEFT OVER WING FORWARD EMERGENCY EXIT LIGHT SHOWED ON ECAM (AMBER) AND ABORTED THE TAKE OFF. FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED THE PLASTIC COVER ON EMERGENCY EXIT HANDLE CAME OFF. MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THE SYSTEM OPERATED AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO WITH THE HANDLE COVER DETACHED. RE-INSTALLED HANDLE COVER PER AMM 52-21-00.
