## Discrepancy

INSPECTION DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SLIDE IN THE TAILCONE WAS NO LONGER IN AN ACCEPTABLE CONFIGURATION.  THE SLIDE BECAME UNRAVELED INSIDE THE COVER.  AN OUT OF POSITION, MISRIGGED, POOR CONDITION, OR ILL-ARRANGED SLIDE ASSEMBLY COULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESCAPE SYSTEM AND IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR PART 121.703.  THE TAILCONE SLIDE WAS REPLACED.
