  • AIRCRAFT DOOR LATCH ARM ROTATION LIMITING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180142506
    Abstract: An aircraft door latch arm rotation limiting device incorporates a flexible strap having a proximal end and distal end. The distal end is insertable through a loop eye proximate to an aircraft door. An elongate sleeve is disposed on the proximal end of the flexible strap and the sleeve is received over a rotatable latch arm of an aircraft door. A first receiving element intermediate the proximal and distal ends of the flexible strap releasably engages the distal end of the flexible strap to establish a first predetermined looped strap length restricting rotation of the lever beyond a partially open position. A second receiving element is disposed between the first receiving element and the proximal end on the flexible strap to releasably engage the distal end to establish a second predetermined looped strap length preventing rotation of the lever from a closed position.
