## Discrepancy

AFT ACCY COMPARTMENT EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING DEPLOYMENT TEST.  INDICATION WAS THAT THE TAIL CONE STRAP (LANYARD) DETACHED FROM THE SLIDE COVER VELCRO TAB BEFORE THE COVER COULD BE PULLED OPEN.  REPLACED COVER VELCRO TAB AND RETESTED SUCCESSFULLY ON 3-26-07.  ENGINEERING IS NOW CONSIDERING ESTABLISHMENT OF A TAB CONDITION CHECK.
