## Discrepancy

DURING OTHER MAINTENANCE IN THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT, THE SLIDE COVER WAS FOUND TO BE OFF ITS HINGES. THIS COULD PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF THE ESCAPE PATH AND IT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR PART 121.703. MAINTENANCE RESEATED SLIDE COVER PER B717 AMM 25-61. PER RII LIST, COVER REINSTALL IS NOT RII PER NOTES. (LP #7409858)
