How do you detach the slide/liferaft from the 777 Aircraft?

• A. Lift the girt flap, pull the white disengage handle and cut the mooring line with the raft knife
• B. Pull the red manual release rope and detach straps
• C. Unclip the floor brackets and remove tether
• D. Cut the mooring line with a knife from the cabin

Answer: (A)

In this aircraft, detaching the slide/raft is a three-step release to free the raft from the door so it can float away and be used. First you lift the girt flap to release the slide from its door attachment. Then you pull the white disengage handle to fully detach the raft from the girt bar and door frame. Finally you cut the mooring line with the raft knife to sever the lines tethering the raft to the aircraft. This sequence ensures the raft is no longer tied to the airplane and can deploy and float freely for passengers to use.
