Two Lock Rule?
As far as I know only NJ has such a rule. My Champ had a key for the
door and another key for the mags. If yours is the same, you're good to go. |

NJ is so damn anal. I left that state 27 years ago and never looked back.
I have flown many hours because of the money I've saved in taxes and compliance with anal NJ laws and regulations. I know, my reposnse is not very helpful.... hate me. Just had to get it out of my system. ) |

It's an NJ rule, AFAIK. We put a cable lock around the prop (figure 8
around both blades) before we discovered that the door lock and the mag switch lock meant we already complied. Even so, we left the prop lock on. Wouldn't want anyone to bypass the Commanche 400 and the Bonanza and take our '74 Archer :-). -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com...

Hangar lock is lock #1.
Prop lock will be lock #2 if/when the rule comes into effect. "T o d d P a t t i s t" wrote in message ... The airport manager asked me yesterday how I planned to comply with the upcoming "two lock rule" to protect my 65hp Champ from being stolen by a terrorist and destroying Washington. I'm usually reasonably up to date on rule changes, but I've been out of the loop for a while, and this was a surprise. I'm not even sure if he was referring to a state rule (NY) or federal. Can someone give me some info and steer me to a link or copy of this rule? A Google search only turned up an old NJ rule, and I saw nothing on AOPA's site. (By posting this, I'm certain someone will show me how it was in front of my nose and I couldn't have missed it, but it seems that I have :-) Thanks.

It could be local, each airport seems to have their own requirements. Perhaps one of these-like things: http://www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl....roduct_id=3570 and a bike-chain and padlock around the prop would suffice. |

Don't you pull your prop through before you turn on the mags? I usually
pulled it through 7 blades to losen the oil and then 3 more to prime it (after adding fuel). Then mags on and a small turn will fire it up. -Robert |

At the DC-3 it's required you either be in a locked hangar or have a prop lock on the plane. Dave Wartofsky just went out and got a bunch of Kryptonite (generally regarded as the most over-hyped and insecure bicycle lock in production) to allow owners to comply with the rules. |
