A dashed rectangle with corner marks, showing where a fuselage may be cut open.
Also known as: Rescue marking, Cut here marking, Break-in marking
A rescue cut-in marking is a dashed rectangle, usually with corner angles and the word RESCUE, applied to an aircraft fuselage to show emergency services where the structure may be cut through to reach the cabin. The area is chosen because it avoids spars, wiring looms, fuel lines and pressure vessels. It is an instruction to people who will arrive with cutting equipment and have no time to consult a drawing.
