## Discrepancy

(CAN) L-2 DOOR ESCAPE SLIDE GIRT BAR FORWARD FLOOR FITTING NUT PLATE ASSY MISSING, UNDER FLOOR PANEL. THIS NUT PLATE REENFORCED THE GIRT BAR FITTING ATTACHMENT TO THE FLOOR. IN CASE OF CHUTE DEPLOYEMENT, THE LOAD IN THE SLIDE WOULD PULL ON THE ATTACH FITTING AND COULD PULL ON THE FLOOR PANEL, LEAVING THE CHUTE ATTACHED BY ONLY ONE FITTING.
