Narrative:

August 2010; I began my shift and picked up company MD88 aircraft. The aircraft had a mid-day ready time. At that time the tailcone slide needed to be installed along with several other items in work. I was assigned to the tailcone emergency escape slide (ees). I had not completed this job before. I followed the job instruction card (jic) and finished the task. As I remember; the jobcard images were small and hard to read. I signed the logbook and jobcards thinking this job was complete and correct. The aircraft was one hour late for the original ready time. I was informed today (june 2011); that this aircraft had a mis-rigged slide lanyard on the tailcone slide.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: Mechanic was informed that a tailcone slide installation he performed on an MD-88 aircraft approximately ten months earlier; required a re-rigging of the slide lanyard and Toggle Pin Mechanism at the slide latch cover to allow deployment of the tailcone slide.
