Abstract:
An engageable lockout and tagout device for aircraft pushbutton switches prevents attempts to electrically engage a corresponding control panel circuit of a system under service. The lockout and tagout device is configured to lock different pushbutton switch types present in a flight deck, including Korry switches, thereby preventing operators from actuating switches and alerting them that the switches have been disengaged.
