Get ready guys, here it comes. In short, badges for every operator and

Background checks every 2 years on our dime.

About to flip the switch in a few weeks.

Do you have the idiotic requirement for a prop lock?

The FBO at HPN padlocked my tail tiedown when I went there for a
couple of hours a week or two ago. They said it was required by the
state. I expect that or a prop lock would be required. That makes NY
and NJ with massport facilities in MA that I know of that have the
'two lock' rule. Course, door and ignition doesn't seem to count as
two locks, but I digress.

It's left as an exercise for the student to determine how long it would
take to defeat a padlock on the tail tiedown of the typical small
aircraft.

I wasn't commenting on the usefulness of any of the stuff, but someone
asled if extra locks/prop locks were required, I postulate that they
were before the SIDA stuff came in. I know they were at BED if you
weren't in a locked T-hanagar.

No prop locks at FRG but there is a requirement for two locks. They provided
cables and big padlock for all the aircraft (at their cost, which I
acknowledge was nice) right before GW flew into our airport for a 9-11
commemoration a couple years back. If you have a lock on your door, you're
good.

In NJ, at least and at least for the moment, door and ignition does count
as two.

Interesting. Last time I was at MMU they made me put a prop lock on a
182.

Is it possible that MMU has some extra requirement? Or perhaps "they"
misunderstood (or never asked about) the rule. Certainly, I see no great
number (in fact, none as far as I've noticed at least on the RN ramp) or
prop locks "next door" at CDW.
