If the handle is down and the escape slide indicator is green, what is the status?

In this scenario, having the handle down and the escape slide indicator showing green indicates that the escape slide is in a disarmed position. The slide indicator is designed to provide visual confirmation of the slide's status; when it is green, it signifies that the slide is not currently armed and is therefore disarmed.

When the handle is in the down position, it is a key factor because this position generally refers to the state of the door mechanism. In this case, the handle being down does not allow the door to be opened, which typically correlates with a disarmed slide to ensure safety on the ground. The combination of these two signals—handle down and green indicator—confirms that while the door is secure and cannot be opened, the slide itself is not prepared for use, prioritizing the safety of passengers and crew during ground operations.
