Abstract
An aircraft assembly includes a keeper, a latch and a lock. The latch includes a handle and a hook structure operatively coupled to the handle. The hook structure is engaged with the keeper when the handle is in a closed position. The hook structure is disengaged from the keeper when the handle is in an open position. The lock includes a catch, a lever and a spring. The lever is configured to rotate about an axis between a locked position and an unlocked position. The lever is aligned with the catch locking the handle in the closed position when the lever is in the locked position. The lever is misaligned from the catch unlocking the handle from the closed position when the lever is in the unlocked position. The spring biases the lever axially along the axis in a direction towards the handle.
