Abstract

A flag mechanism for an aircraft door includes a first arm and a second arm each having a flag on a first end and a catch on a second end. A first cam is operatively coupled to a first latching member and a second cam is operatively coupled a second latching member. The first and second latching members are each configured for latching the aircraft door, which are locked when the first and second cams are rotated to a locked position. A first stud extends from a side of the first cam and a second stud extends from a side of the second cam. The first and second studs are each configured to be received by a respective catch of the first and second arms while the first and second cams are rotated, thereby moving each respective flag from a first position to a second position for simultaneous visual inspection.
