Ropes used during water evacuation are called which term?

• A. Life Lines
• B. Life Rafts
• C. Rescue Lines
• D. Evacuation Ropes

Answer: (A)

Life lines are the ropes used during water evacuations to provide a handhold and a guided path for passengers as they leave the aircraft and move toward a life raft or into the water. They’re attached at exits or wing areas and give evacuees something to grip so they can stay connected and maintain balance in wet, windy conditions. They are distinct from life rafts (inflatable flotation devices) and from terms like rescue lines or evacuation ropes, which aren’t the standard name for this equipment.
