Overview

Skylock is an inexpensive throttle lock for aircraft with Cessna type push-pull throttles. The device will accept shafts up to .375" diameter, and is made of heavy-gauge cadmium plated steel. Skylock affords great peace of mind to aircraft owners at very little cost. Just put in place after every flight, secure with your own favorite padlock, and your throttle cannot be moved! Simple, but it works.

My throttle has a screw-on round knob - a thief could easily remove the knob then take the lock off. I will probably cut off the rectangular end, and use the rest to lock the mixture, which is a verneer.

I have the ElectroAir EIS switch panel replacing my key magneto / start switch, so use this for aircraft security when I travel and park outside a hangar. It works perfectly with a combination lock on my Cardinal RG.

We have 4 of these for club Cessna 172S aircraft. Needed to comply with NJ two lock rule for planes locked outside and with ElectroAirElectronic ignitions that replace key start with rocker switches.

Works great, I used a number dial padlock, also have another one with a keyed hitch pin. Dont like that setup as well as the numbered one.

This actually goes on the shaft behind the knob and will accept shafts up to .375" diameter.
