If a cabin door is armed, the slide _______ deploy and the emergency mode _______ operate if the door is opened from the outside.

• A. Will deploy; will operate
• B. Will deploy; will not operate
• C. Will not deploy; will operate
• D. Will not deploy; will not operate

Answer: (D)

Arming a cabin door is a safety setting that prepares the slide for a proper evacuation, but it does not trigger slide deployment or emergency systems when the door is opened from outside. In this condition, opening the door from the outside is not considered the evacuation trigger, so the slide does not deploy and the emergency mode does not operate. This prevents accidental slide deployment on the ground or during boarding. The slide would only deploy and emergency systems would activate as part of a controlled evacuation initiated through the intended door operation in the proper direction.
