here is my question on the slides plz feel free is reply with your thoughts ....... if there are 5 doors/slides being tested each time witch slides are failing? is it the same door/slide each time or has it been happening to random doors/slides on the plane during each test? ........ if it is happening randomly then its the slide packer/manufacturer problem ...... but if this problem keeps happening to lets say door 2 and door 4 then i would think there is a problem in the linkage witch would mean BLTA has to take a better look at what is going here ...... dont know much about these slides and how they are deployed or if it is a rod or cable design but it would be nice to know if this problem is occurring to the same exits during each test or randomly
