What is Evacuation slide?
[[Image:Emergency exit slide.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Inflated evacuation slide]] An '''evacuation slide''' is an [[wikt:inflation|inflatable]] slide used to [[wikt:evacuate|evacuate]] an [[aircraft]] quickly. An escape slide is required on all passenger-carrying aircraft if the door is too high for passengers to step down from the aircraft uninjured. [[Federal Aviation Administration]] requires slides on doors where the floor is {{convert|6|ft|m}} or more above the ground. Some slides are designed to act also as [[life raft]]s if the plane lands in the water. [[Category:Aviation safety]] {{transport-stub}}
