## Discrepancy

CLT - C6 - MAJOR REPAIR - FORWARD SERVICE DOOR ESCAPE SLIDE MANUAL DEPLOY HANDLE NOT IN CORRECT POSITION WHEN VELCRO FLAP IS OPEN.  THE MANUAL DEPLOY HANDLE WAS PACKED INSIDE THE COVER AND THEREFORE NOT ACCESSABLE TO THE CREW.  REMOVED SLIDE, OPENED SLIDE COVER AND REPOSITIONED HANDLE TO PROPER LOCATION.
