Przede wszystkim jest tu literówka, bo powinno być "GIRT bar".


Above someone referred to the "grit bar." It's actually called a "girt bar." Close enough, just a spelling error. On all 737s, MD-80/90 and 717 aircraft, these girt bars are manually engaged by the flight attendant. There is a bar that sticks out from under the slide pack. The bar is placed in two brackets on the door when it is open, but when the door is closed flight attendants manaullay attatch the girt bars to two brackets on the floor. This is probably one of the least favorite things of flight attendants because it involves putting your hands on the dirty galley floor. Ick!

Prior to departure (usually before engine startup) all the aircraft doors are placed into the armed (or automatic) mode by the cabin crew. Methods of arming vary from aircraft to aircraft, but ultimately what is involved is the girt bar (a metal bar attached to the door end of the slide) being physically attached to brackets either in or adjacent to the door sill. On older aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, this is done physically by the cabin crew and on most other aircraft it involves pushing a lever on the door itself which arms the door internally.

If a rapid evacuation is required and the doors are opened while "armed", the opening of the door pulls the slide pack out of the bustle (because the girt bar is physically attached to the aircraft floor).
