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.<br></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ron Lockhart<br></p><blockquote type="cite">On September 26, 2018 at 8:14 PM Ken Dunlap via NSRCA-discussion <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org> wrote: <br> <br><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Cheers,</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ken</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <br></div><hr style="width: 98%; display: inline-block;"><div><div class="ox-9ea3719e27-x_WordSection1"><p class="ox-9ea3719e27-x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"></p><p class="ox-9ea3719e27-x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </p></div></div></blockquote><p class="default-style" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></p></body></html>
