What do we call the line that connects the aircrewman (or HHO as I learned yesterday they're now called) to the airframe if (s)he needs to move about the cabin? It's all gone blank over here.
Thanks A

I must get hold of one of these amusing user names. Then no-one will know who the FLIP I am either. Identify yourself, sir, via PM or indeed Li.

But I'm afraid it's not an aviation word. It's imported by our winchmen/HCMs from National Mountain and Speleological Rescue.

No.
A retention lanyard is worn by pilots - it's called flying pay :D
