Which statement best describes a verification step during door arming?

• A. Verifying girt bar is installed correctly into the floor brackets and Velcro patch over the manual inflation handle is visible and accessible
• B. Crosscheck that 1L and 1R are armed and crosschecked
• C. Remove door streamer from across door viewing window
• D. Immediately report any type of door arming abnormality or irregularity to the International Purser/Purser and Pilots

Answer: (A)

During door arming, the verification step focuses on confirming the slide system is properly prepared for evacuation. The key check is that the girt bar is correctly installed in the floor brackets, which anchors the slide to the floor and allows it to deploy smoothly when needed. At the same time, the Velcro patch over the manual inflation handle should be visible and accessible, ensuring there are no obstructions and that the handle can be reached if manual inflation is required. This combination gives a clear, physical confirmation that the door is armed and the slide system will operate as intended. Other actions described are related to broader crew procedures or actions taken in different situations. Crosschecking that the doors are armed is part of a broader crosscheck routine, not the specific physical verification of the arming step. Removing the door streamer and reporting an arming abnormality are steps that occur in different contexts or if something isn’t correct, rather than the standard verification that the door arming is correctly completed.
