Where is the lifeline attached during a ditching?

The lifeline is attached to an eyelet on the wing. This provides a secure, purpose-built tie-off point on the wing surface for passengers evacuating during a ditching, helping them stay tethered as they move toward the raft or into the water. A mooring line is used for securing the aircraft, not as a passenger lifeline; a girt flap is part of the slide-raft system and not an anchor for the lifeline; the cabin floor isn’t accessible or suitable once you’re on the wing. So, the wing eyelet is the correct anchor point.
