The invention relates to a system and a method for preventing inadvertent slide deployment for an aircraft, comprising at least one sensor for sensing the proximity of a person in front of an aircraft door, and at least one optical warning means operable to provide an optical indication in the vicinity of a slide arming lever when the sensor detects the proximity of a person in front of the aircraft door. The system according to the invention provides an effective prevention for inadvertent slide deployment that is capable to guide trained and untrained persons to the information they need in order to disarm the slide in sufficient time before the door handle is gripped and pulled to open the aircraft door in normal operation conditions.
