## Discrepancy

INSPECTION DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE IN THE TAILCONE WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED.  THE SLIDE COVER WAS NOT SECURED AS DESIGNED.  THIS WOULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESCAPE SLIDE AND IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR, PART 121.703.  THE TAILCONE SLIDE COVER WAS RE-INSTALLED CORRECTLY.  NO MENTION OF RII BEING COMPLETED.
