Location of Boeing 777 cockpit safety belt
I am a journalist investigating the MH17 shot down.
Can someone explain me the location of the round buckle part of the safety belt of a Boeing 777 cockpit seat? I know there is a strap running over each shoulder. Then there are two straps on the side of the seat. I guess one of the straps on the side has a round buckle to connect the other three straps? Where on the body is the round black buckle roughly located when the safety belt is on? |
somewhere close to the navel, or below. If you do a google image search for pilot harness you'll get a better picture for your research than if you're looking for "safety belt"
|
thx for the reply. Do pilots generally speaking have their safety belts on during cruise?
|
In cruise belts yes, harness not usually.
|
harnass are the straps running over the shoulder I guess?
|
Standard 5 point harness.
Round black buckle is basically over your private parts if done up correctly. The negative G strap/crotch strap ( on the bottom ) is the 5th and it stops the buckle riding up too high... And I suppose stops you sliding under the harness? |
Ouch. I'll go with the first option :eek:
