## Discrepancy

RT OVERWING ESCAPE SLIDE ENCLOSURE HAS CRACKS AND DELAMINATION ON TRAILING EDGE FLANGE.  T/E FLANGE OF RT OVER WING SLIDE ENCLOSURE HAS 2EA CRACKED AND DELAMINATED AREAS.  THE CRACKS ARE APPROX 6.5 INCHES IN LENGTH AND THE DELAMINATED AREAS ARE APPROX 10 INCHES IN LENGTH.  DAMAGE IS LESS THAN PERMITTED LIMITS, SLIDE CAN STAY INSTALLED UNTIL NEXT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECK.  CRACKED AREAS SEALED WITH SPEED TAPE.  REPLACED RT OVER WING SLIDE PER AMM, ALL OKAY.
