What is the purpose of slide armed warning light?

• A. Indicates the door is about to be opened in armed mode
• B. Indicates the door is disarmed
• C. Indicates the slide has deployed
• D. Indicates cabin pressure low

Answer: (A)

The slide armed warning light exists to signal that an evacuation slide is ready to deploy and will do so if the door is opened. When the door arming lever is set to armed and the slide is engaged, the slide becomes prepared for automatic deployment upon door opening in an evacuation. The warning light provides a clear, immediate cue to crew that this exit is in the armed state, so opening it will trigger the slide. If the exit is disarmed, the light is off, indicating that opening the door will not deploy the slide.
