## Discrepancy

DURING 1L SLIDE REPLACEMENT, THE LANYARD CABLE ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND TO BE FRAYED. THIS COULD PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF THE ESCAPE PATH AND IT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH 14 CFR PART 121.703. MAINTENANCE INSTALLED A SERVICEABLE LANYARD PER AMDS 2561.9004. THE AIRCRAFT IS OK FOR SERVICE. (LP #8103208)
