Which door component serves as a status indicator for the girt bars?

• A. Arming Lever
• B. Emergency Placard
• C. Girt bar Indicators
• D. Slight Light

Answer: (C)

Girt bar indicators provide the visual confirmation that the evacuation system is properly armed. When the door is armed, the girt bars extend into floor brackets and secure the door, and the indicator shows at a glance that this engagement is complete. This status display is critical so the crew can be sure the door will function correctly during an emergency and that the slide/raft will deploy as intended. The indicator is typically a small window or flag that changes color or position to reflect the girt bars’ state.

The arming lever is simply the control used to arm or disarm the system, not the visual status itself. The emergency placard is just safety information, not an indicator of girt bar engagement. The other light option isn’t the standard mechanism for showing girt bar status. So the component that serves as the status indicator is the girt bar indicators.
