What was found
DURING 100 HR INSPECTION, FOUND LOWER DOOR SUPPORT CABLE SHEATHS TORN. REPLACED CABLES. BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE SHEATH NOT BEING SECURED TIGHTLY TO THE CABLE THE FULL LENGTH. WHEN PASSENGERS DEPART THE PLANE, THEY GRAB THE CABLE AND THE SHEATH SLIPS, CAUSING THE EXCESS STRESS, CAUSING THE TEARS. THIS SHEATH SHOULD BE GLUED THE FULL LENGTH, OR REPLACED WITH A LOOSELY FITTING LEATHER COVERING ATTACHED WITH VELCRO. THIS WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR INSPECTION OF THE CABLE.
