Abstract
An electrical interlock and indication system for use with an aircraft having a hinged tail section is provided. The interlock and indication system prevents operation of a latch/lock actuation system of the hinged tail section unless a tail support is engaged to the tail section, inhibits over rotation of the hinged tail section, and detects retraction failures of latch pins located in the hinged tail section.
