During VIP pre-boarding at Joint Base Andrews, Boeing VC-25B door mechanics link the cabin sill directly to the tarmac apron. Triggering the pneumatic trigger rapidly releases hybrid gas bottles, driving chute inflation along a forty-five degree vector. If pressure drops below eleven PSI, the chute sags, compromising ground clearance and increasing calculated egress duration. Restoring calibrated pressure verifies ground clearance, completing presidential safety checklist gates prior to airframe dispatch.
