Which statement correctly describes the installation location of Type 1 Door Safety strap?

• A. Aircraft-mounted assist handle
• B. Door frame
• C. Jetbridge
• D. Passenger seat

Answer: (A)

The strap is meant to provide a stable handhold near the door, so it must be anchored to fixed aircraft structure rather than something that moves. An aircraft-mounted assist handle is a stationary, nearby feature built into the aircraft, keeping the strap in a consistent, reachable position whether the door is open or closed. This ensures passengers can grab the strap reliably during entry, exit, or deplaning, and it avoids interference with door operation. Attaching to the door frame would move with the door and could become misaligned or inaccessible; attaching to a jetbridge or a passenger seat wouldn’t provide a proper, fixed anchor on the aircraft itself.
