An assembly for arming/disarming a slide of an airplane door according to the invention comprises a system with two releasable connection mechanisms (2) linked with the door (1) and a cabin floor of the airplane, each mechanism (2) comprising a releasable connector (21b) secured to the door (1), extending at right angles to the floor on each side of a door bottom, and an anchor fitting (22b) fixed to the cabin floor. Each connector (21b) is equipped with an elastic centering element (70) and a locking/unlocking grab (25b) on the corresponding anchor fitting (22b), the connectors (21b) being linked by a girt bar (5). Each grab (25b) being rotationally mobile, one of the grabs (25b) is driven by a single command (5; 25b) which drives the other grab in rotation via the girt bar (5).
A method for arming/disarming a slide of an airplane door linked with a cabin floor of the airplane, in which—in arming mode called ARM—the door is lowered into closed position to engage first connection parts of two releasable mechanisms with elastic centering element on second connection parts of the mechanisms, respectively secured to the door and to the cabin floor;

An airplane door equipped with a system for arming/disarming a slide comprising two mechanisms, each mechanism comprising a releasable connector secured to the door, extending on each side of a door bottom, and an anchor fitting intended to be fixed to a cabin floor, in which each connector is equipped with an elastic centering element and a locking/unlocking grab on the corresponding anchor fitting, the connectors being linked by a girt bar from each grab which has means for attaching to the girt bar, and in which, each grab being rotationally mobile, one of the grabs can be driven by a single command which rotationally drives the other grab via the girt bar, the system also comprising an energy source for triggering the single command of each grab between two angular positions:
