## Discrepancy

RECEIVED SLIDE, ON DISASSEMBLY FOUND ONE INCORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK INSTALLED AT THE SILL SUPPORT LOG.  FRANGIBLE LINK INSTALLED WAS P/N C19347-103 (NATURAL/NATURAL), SHOULD BE P/N C19749-103 (BLACK/ORANGE).  DUE TO THE DIFFERENT BREAKING STRENGTHS OF EACH FRANGIBLE LINK THAT CAN CAUSE IMPROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE EVACUATION SLIDE.  INCORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK WAS INSTALLED DURING THE LAST OVERHAUL ON AUG 2008.  CORRECT FRANGIBLE LINK P/N C19749-103 WILL BE REPLACED AT THIS OVERHAUL.
