## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: DURING A SCHEDULED REPLACEMENT OF THE L1 DOOR SLIDE RAFT ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE FOUND THE SLIDE INFLATION HOSE WAS RUBBING ON THE ENCLOSURE AND COULD NOT BE REPOSITIONED. THE SLIDE / RAFT WAS DETERMINED TO BE BAD FROM STOCK, REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND ROUTED TO BE SENT OUT FOR REPAIR. A SERVICEABLE SLIDE / RAFT ASSEMBLY WAS INSTALLED ON THE AIRCRAFT.
