Narrative:

Apparent analysis of the event suggests crew decision in taking immediate action to abort aircraft by exercising emergency evacuate/evacuation. The decision was made based on the fact that the cabin was fumigated as a result of an oil line rupture in the APU compartment. In the process of the emergency evacuate/evacuation of the aircraft; emergency evacuate/evacuation procedures were followed and some of the equipment were hurriedly disposed of. The action resulted in minor damage to the equipment as well as the inflation of the evacuate/evacuation slides. After the evacuate/evacuation of the equipment; with the support through maintenance control and reference to the ferry permit; the aircraft was authority/authorized for a ferry permit for repair. Please note; the work environment was not affected by this event and maintenance was followed with the documents faxed to maintenance control prior to the ferry flight. Hours worked remain which were managed by the staff. The departments involved were maintenance and engineering; supporting the completion of the paperwork per ferry permit. In this case; mainly the maintenance control. The flight crew were briefed and received all the paperwork (including the original copies) prior to the flight.
