"ARMED" means the inflatable slide is armed, so it will deploy when the door is opened.what is your favourite airline?
Prior to departure (usually before engine startup) all the aircraft doors are places into the armed (or automatic) mode by the cabin crew. Methods of arming vary from aircraft to aircraft, but ultimately what is involved is the girt bar (a metal bar attached to the door end ) being physically attached to brackets either in or adjacent to the door sill. On older aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, this is done physically by the cabin crew and on most other aircraft it involves pushing a lever on the door itself which arms the door internally.If a rapid evacuation is required and the doors are opened while "armed", the opening of the door pulls the slide pack out of the bustle (because the girt bar as physically attached to the aircraft floor). Due to the weight of both the door and the slide, great effort is involved in pushing the door open sufficiently to free the slide from the bustle, thus on larger aircraft a "power assist" function kicks in to aid the opening, either electrically or from compressed gas.

They arm the emergency evacuation slides to deploy automatically when its respective door is opened.how possable is a skycat airship? when could one be built?
Quite right, dave a. On the Boeing 757/767 the arm/disarm of the slide is a little green lever in the door handle well. If the slide is inadvertently deployed in a jetway, the result could be fatal for the jetway operator. In any event, that slide is a big yellow a*s*s whipping for anyone in its path.Are control towers of EWR & DEN same design?
It simply means that the flight attendants set all of the doors to the "emergency evacuation mode" either by a lever or a bar attachment (depending on aircraft type). Once "armed" the escape slides will inflate automaticallly whenever the door is opened. Of course, in a normal, safe landing, the doors must be "disarmed" before passengers can depart.Where can I find out how much money do privat and commercial Pilots get paid ?
