An evacuation system (100) is provided. The system may comprise a door sill (104), a girt (110) coupled to the door sill (104), a slide coupled to the girt, and a measurement device coupled the girt and/or the slide. The measurement device (112) may further comprise a line (113) having a predetermined length and a weight (114) coupled to the line (113), and the measurement device (112) may be configured to adjust a length of the slide (106) in response to a position of the weight (114). A method is also provided. The method includes opening a door to expose a door sill (104), inflating the emergency slide (106) with the emergency slide (106) coupled to the door sill (104), and deploying a measurement device (112) configured to measure a height of the door sill (104) from a surface. The measurement device (112) may comprise a line (113) coupled to the door sill (104) and a buoyant weight (114) coupled to the line (113), and wherein the line (113) has a predetermined length.
