Question 4

Vertical( engaging) straps

Answer 4

Nose of the aircraft passes through the barricade and allows the engaging straps to contact the leading edges of the wings and wrap about the aircraft.

The spacing between the vertical engaging straps affords equalized loading of the barricade during arrestment.

Question 5

Deck Ramps

Answer 5

Purpose is to secure the lower load straps in place and cause the aircraft nose wheel to ride up and into the barricade assembly. This protects the lower load straps and also prevents the aircraft from nosing under them during a barricade arrestment.
