What is the function of a safety strap during turnaround?

The function of a safety strap during turnaround is primarily to control access to the aircraft. Safety straps are used to restrict access to the aircraft during the critical stages of turnaround, ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter or exit the aircraft. This enhances security and safety by preventing unauthorized access, which is particularly important when the aircraft is being serviced or loaded.

By controlling who can approach the aircraft during turnaround, safety straps help maintain a safe environment for both ground crew and passengers, minimizing the risk of accidents or incidents.
