A Type I Door is designed to serve as a primary escape route for passengers in the event of an evacuation.

Single lane escape slides deploy to provide a single pathway for passengers to evacuate the aircraft rapidly.

When the escape slide is armed, it deploys automatically and inflates as soon as the door is opened.

A restraint tie device holds the escape slide in a folded position before it fully inflates, ensuring a safe and controlled deployment.

The Manual Inflation Handle is located on the right side of the girt extension, allowing cabin crew to manually inflate the escape slide if needed.

After manually actuating the escape slide's inflation handle, cabin crew should check visually for smooth and correct deployment of the slide.
