Where is the Type 2 Door Safety strap located?

• A. Installed within aircraft door frame
• B. Attached to aircraft-mounted assist handle
• C. On the jetbridge
• D. On the door sill

Answer: (A)

The Type 2 Door Safety strap is located inside the aircraft door frame. Placing it within the frame makes it an integral part of the door’s safety system, anchored to a fixed point that moves with the door and can reliably restrain door movement relative to the fuselage during opening and closing and in wind gusts. This placement keeps the strap protected, out of the passenger path, and free from interference with the jetbridge or door sill. Attaching a strap to an assist handle or the jetbridge wouldn’t secure the door to the aircraft structure, and placing it on the door sill wouldn’t restrain the door properly.
