## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: DURING A SCHEDULED SLIDE REPLACEMENT MAINTENANCE NOTED THAT THE MOORING LINE OF THE SLIDE BEING INSTALLED WAS PACKED INTO THE SLIDE ASSEMBLY AND THE END LOOP WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE. THE SLIDE WAS REMOVED AND ROUTED BACK TO STORES AS A BAD FROM STOCK ITEM TO BE SENT OUT FOR REPAIR. A SERVICEABLE SLIDE WAS INSTALLED.
