What was found
SLIDERAFT FAILED FLAT FIRE TEST. INSPECTION OF THE INFLATABLE ASSEMBLY FOUND THREE HOLES AND ONE INDENTATION COMMON TO THE LOWER INFLATION TUBE. THIS SLIDERAFT ASSEMBLY WAS FITTED WITH P/N 4A3791-3 PLASTIC PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES (PRV) ON BOTH THE UPPER AND LOWER TUBES, WHICH ACCOUNTED FOR LEAKAGE FAILURE OF THE UPPER TUBE. ADDITIONALLY, THE PN 5A3265-1 ASPIRATOR WAS FOUND TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY DISTORTED. INITIAL INDICATIONS SHOW THAT THE ASPIRATOR BODY TRACE LINE MATCHES THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE HOLES.
