Abstract
An aircraft assembly having: a first part; a second part, the first part being movably mounted relative to a second part; a dynamic conduit arranged such that movement of the first part relative to the second part causes the dynamic conduit to move through a movement volume from a first conduit position to a second conduit position; a first fastener arranged to couple a component to the aircraft assembly, at least some of the first fastener residing within the movement volume of the dynamic conduit; and a safety guide arranged to be coupled to the first fastener, the safety guide comprising a bridge portion which extends away from the first fastener within the movement volume of the dynamic conduit so as to support the dynamic conduit when the dynamic conduit is in the second conduit position.
