Abstract
A latch mechanism for a door of an aircraft comprises a striker pin and a catch assembly. The catch assembly includes a housing, which includes a first aperture and a first outboard surface aligned with the first aperture. The catch assembly also includes a catch pivotably coupled to the housing. The catch includes a recess configured to selectively receive the striker pin. The catch also includes a hook extending at least partially through the first aperture. The hook includes a second outboard surface configured to selectively cover the first outboard surface. The catch is pivotable relative to the housing between an open orientation in which the second outboard surface at least partially reveals the first outboard surface, and a lock orientation in which the second outboard surface substantially conceals the first outboard surface. The recess is configured to receive the striker pin when the catch is in the lock orientation.
