Among our challenges to follow a procedure ....    Plane lands, flight is complete.   While a helper/ caller, perhaps unfamiliar with that specific airplane, retrieves it from the runway, the pilot gets involved in a conversation - how flight went, that he is needed to judge, to call for someone, else, etc.  Similar items may be pulling on the helper/caller.  Plane now sits where?  For how long?  And is disarmed?   A clearly visible arming plug would be a big help.

Well, I am going to chime in with my experience. I use the Arm-safe. I have over 1000+ flights on airplanes with this system and it has been bulletproof. I know there are thoughts about single points of failure etc etc. But here's my experience.. I have never seen an arming system fail, but I have seen countless airplanes go careening off into fences and fields because the pilot forgot to deactivate his/her airplane. I am entirely supportive of an arming rule that requires a hard disconnect of the airplane.

Cheers,
Ken
