In an emergency, the priority is to get everyone out safely using whatever equipment is still usable. If a slide does not fully inflate, you should deploy it as an apron slide if it can be done safely. Using it this way provides a guided path from the door to the ground on the tarmac, helping passengers exit in an orderly fashion while staying clear of the aircraft and (where possible) reducing the risk of slips or falls. It also makes productive use of what you have rather than delaying evacuation while you try to fix the slide. Discarding the slide removes a potential exit aid, ignoring evacuations wastes valuable time and risks injury, and deflating and retrying could delay egress and still fail. When the apron slide isn’t safe to use, follow the established alternate evacuation procedures, but the best course when feasible is to use the slide as an apron slide to facilitate a quicker, safer exit.
