What can partially /non-inflated slide be used for on land?

• A. As a primary exit for all passengers
• B. For display only
• C. As a last resort, cabin crew may use partially or non-inflated slide as apron slides by directing two or more ABPs to: Go down slide hand over hand, Stay at the bottom, Hold slide extended using apron handles
• D. As a decorative feature

Answer: (C)

When a slide is only partially inflated or not inflated at all, it can still be used on land as an apron slide for a ground evacuation. This is a last-resort option, not the primary exit. In this setup, cabin crew work with able-bodied passengers to manage the egress safely. Two or more ABPs can go down the slide hand over hand to guide others, then stay at the bottom to help keep the exit path clear and organized. They also hold the slide extended using the apron handles to keep the slide taut and stable across the ground, preventing it from collapsing or snagging as passengers slide off. This use is specifically for emergencies on the tarmac, and it’s not intended for display or decoration. It’s about getting people off the aircraft safely when the slide won’t inflate fully, by coordinating passengers and ABPs to control the evacuation flow and maintain a usable, stable route to the ground.
