Thanks, I thought that the pins are an engineering function rather than operational. If the door slides keep getting blown it is an indication of poor procedures. No doubt the CAA have approved the procedure even if the pins look thoroughly confusing for passengeres in an emergency.

Javelin,
Sops vary greatly from company to company, so don't be too quick to insult.
Sky9,
In my co. we arm/disarm the emergency exits as we would the Main/service doors. I think we would probably disarm the 320 overwing exits if they weren't permanently armed.

I am not asking whether the doors are armed or disarmed. My question is should engineering pins be inserted into the disarming lever when the aircraft is on the ground with passengers on board?
The pins are similar to undercarriage pins with red flags on the end.

Don't know anything about A320, but, on the B747 with the slide/door arming lever in the disarmed position it is held in that position with a pin which has a red streamer on. When the doors are put to automatic the CC remove the pin and stow it and place the lever armed.
Perhaps this is a scheme that has been put into place by the operator to prevent inadvertant blowing of the doors and/or slide?
