## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, THE LEFT OVERWING EMERGENCY EXIT ON THE LEFT PASSENGER ESCAPE HATCH WAS FOUND TO BE BLOCKED.  MAINTENANCE FOUND A SCREW THAT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND WAS BLOCKING THE DOOR FROM OPENING.  THE SCREW WAS RE-INSTALLED AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE LEFT OVERWING EMERGENCY EXIT WERE GOOD.  NO FURTHER DEFECTS WERE NOTED.
