What was found

DURING THE OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SLIDE, THE SLIDE DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT HOLD PRESSURE. THE LOWER SUPPORT CHAMBERS DID NOT RECEIVE ENOUGH PRESSURE, AND THE ENTIRE SLIDE HAD LOST MOST OF ITS PRESSURE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF BEING DEPLOYED. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE SLIDE. OK FOR SERVICE.
