Abstract
A device providing a signal indicating whether a deployed aircraft evacuation slide is ready for use. A tilt sensor measures tilt angle about a predetermined axis and a tilt sensor measurement signal is provided. An inertial sensor detects acceleration and provides an inertial sensor measurement signal. A slide signal input terminal receives a slide signal indicating deployment of an evacuation slide and of a deployment length. A tilt angle signal output terminal at which a tilt angle signal is provided, and a slide status output terminal and a control unit to determine, based on the detected acceleration, a moment when the device is at rest with respect to earth and to set orientation of the reference plane to a predetermined orientation. The control unit stores data depending on position of a door, and can determine a slide length. A slide status signal is provided at the slide status output terminal.
