Yates Helo Personal Retention Lanyard

This personal retention lanyard is designed for use in helicopters. It features Ronstan's first all - black, non - reflective, oxide - plated stainless - steel quick - release shackle. The oversize shackle enables easy release from harness or belt during an unplanned landing. The swedged release pin (meeting SOCOM requirement) prevents the plunger pin from releasing if the retaining ring breaks. The retaining split ring is safety TIG welded. The quick - release shackle uses Velcro to secure the release tab, reducing the risk of accidental release. It's built with 4000lb. mil spec 5625 tubular webbing and has a rated strength of 3400 lbf. (15kN). The Kong Tango double - locking snap hook meets NFPA 1983/2006 edition standards with a strength of 7425 lbf. (33kN). Made in the USA. Available in terra and black (565T Lanyard: NSN# 4240016189712; 565B Lanyard: NSN# 4240016274761). Retracted length is 20 inches, and fully extended length is 31 inches.

How to use: Attach the lanyard to your harness or belt using the quick - release shackle. Make sure the Velcro on the shackle's release tab is properly secured. Then, connect the Kong Tango double - locking snap hook to the appropriate anchor point in the helicopter. Note: Check the lanyard regularly for any signs of wear, especially the retaining split ring and the quick - release shackle. Do not exceed the rated strength of 3400 lbf.
