What was found

MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE AT DOOR 1R HAD A BROKEN LANYARD. THE LANYARD WAS NOT CONNECTED BETWEEN THE GIRT-BAR AND THE SLIDE RELEASE. THIS WOULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESCAPE SLIDE AND IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR, PART 121.703. THE DOOR SLIDE LANYARD WAS REPLACED.
