Narrative:
When passenger door was opened for deplaning, the escape slide came out of its housing. As there were no mechanics at the field and it appeared a lengthy delay was about to occur, we replaced the slide in its housing and departed. I did not realize at the time that a safety check by a qualified inspector was required. I believe a reminder by the company of this requirement would prevent this problem from recurring.

Title: ACFT EQUIP PROB NOT CORRECTED PRIOR TO DEP FROM ARPT ON ACR MLG.
Narrative: WHEN PAX DOOR WAS OPENED FOR DEPLANING, THE ESCAPE SLIDE CAME OUT OF ITS HOUSING. AS THERE WERE NO MECHS AT THE FIELD AND IT APPEARED A LENGTHY DELAY WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR, WE REPLACED THE SLIDE IN ITS HOUSING AND DEPARTED. I DID NOT REALIZE AT THE TIME THAT A SAFETY CHK BY A QUALIFIED INSPECTOR WAS REQUIRED. I BELIEVE A REMINDER BY THE COMPANY OF THIS REQUIREMENT WOULD PREVENT THIS PROB FROM RECURRING.
