## Discrepancy

FLT 383 - CLT - EMERGENCY EGRESS SYSTEM - AFTER CLOSING L1 DOOR, EMERGENCY EXIT SLIDE WOULD NOT ARM.  HANDLE WENT INTO ARMED POSITION BUT SLIDE DID NOT SHOW ARMED ON DOOR / OXY PG ON FORWARD FLIGHT ATTENDANT PANEL.  MAINTENANCE FOUND FOREIGN OBJECT OBSTRUCTING SLIDE/LOCK ENGAGE.  REMOVED DEBRIS AND ALL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL.
