To confirm that the 3L/3R slide is ready, which indicator is checked?

• A. ODI (Off-Wing-Deployment Indicator)
• B. Girt bar flag window yellow
• C. Cabin Door Status
• D. Emergency Light Switch

Answer: (A)

For 3L/3R exits, slide readiness is confirmed by the Off-Wing Deployment Indicator. This indicator directly shows whether the slide is armed and ready to deploy along the off-wing path in an evacuation, which is the critical check for these doors. When the ODI indicates proper status, you know the slide will function as intended and evacuate safely. The other indicators relate to different aspects of the door system or cabin safety and do not provide the direct readiness confirmation for the slide itself. The girt bar flag window can indicate if the girt bar is in the correct position, but it’s not the definitive readiness indicator by itself. Cabin door status only tells you if the door is closed/latched, and the emergency light switch concerns lighting during an evacuation, not slide readiness.
