" Door armed.
Slide will deploy! "

The Smarthandle™ is an innovative audible alert system which fits to any aircraft door, preventing inadvertent emergency slide deployment.

From the smallest aircraft operator to the largest global airline, the financial and human cost of inadvertent slide deployment can be huge - not to mention debilitating knock-on effects such as grounded aircraft, stranded passengers, out-of-hours crew and un-scheduled maintenance costs.

Whichever words and whichever language is chosen, the message is clear - if you attempt to open an armed door the slide WILL deploy.

 

Smarthandle™ Pressurisation Alert

The Smarthandle™ alongside the “Door armed” audible alert, has the capability of being connected to the aircraft pressurisation warning system (if fitted). This provides an audible alert to prevent the door operator opening the aircraft door whilst residual cabin pressure remains “Caution…. aircraft pressurised” preventing an uncontrolled door blow out.
