Two Lock Rule?

As far as I know only NJ has such a rule. My Champ had a key for the
door and another key for the mags. If yours is the same, you're good to
go.

NJ is so damn anal. I left that state 27 years ago and never looked back.
I have flown many hours because of the money I've saved in taxes and compliance
with anal NJ laws and regulations.

I know, my reposnse is not very helpful.... hate me.
Just had to get it out of my system. )

If you look at those comparison websites, designed to find tha best places to
live, NJ keeps coming up as one of the lowest taxed states, with a high ratio
of quality of services to tax rate.

Interesting. NJ has a 6% sales tax on everything but clothing and a 6.5% income
tax. I'm sure that's low in comparison to some places, but most States are
lower. The license for my baby pickup costs over $75 every year. A driver's
license is more than $25 for 4 years. You will also find that every service
(such as telephone, water, etc.) has a hidden surcharge. The Federal and State
taxes on my phone service cost more than the basic service does. If one were
able to add in the cost of the various kickbacks and other hidden penalties,
you'd see a different picture, though I'd bet NJ would compare very well to the
Chicago area.

Kontiki is also correct about the regulations. You need a permit for just about
anything. The paperwork involved means that someone who moves here from, say,
Tennessee will probably drop a few of their hobbies due to lack of time to get
the necessary licenses.

Funny - the "best places to live" sites list the income tax at 2.something,
which is one of their strong reasons for giving the state such high marks!
They also rate education and median income highly, as well as - believe it or
not - air and water quality!

They are roughly 20 years out of date. It was 3.5% when I moved here, but Florio
jacked it to something like 8% back around '87. It got reduced to the current
level under Whitman about 10 years ago.

Hmmmm... Comparing a toxic waste dump to a cesspool... Quite appropriate...

It's an NJ rule, AFAIK. We put a cable lock around the prop (figure 8
around both blades) before we discovered that the door lock and the mag
switch lock meant we already complied. Even so, we left the prop lock on.
Wouldn't want anyone to bypass the Commanche 400 and the Bonanza and take
our '74 Archer :-).

Hangar lock is lock #1.

Prop lock will be lock #2 if/when the rule comes into effect.

The airport manager asked me yesterday how I planned to
comply with the upcoming "two lock rule" to protect my 65hp
Champ from being stolen by a terrorist and destroying
Washington. I'm usually reasonably up to date on rule
changes, but I've been out of the loop for a while, and this
was a surprise. I'm not even sure if he was referring to a
state rule (NY) or federal.

Can someone give me some info and steer me to a link or copy
of this rule? A Google search only turned up an old NJ
rule, and I saw nothing on AOPA's site.

(By posting this, I'm certain someone will show me how it
was in front of my nose and I couldn't have missed it, but
it seems that I have :-)

Thanks.

2. Hangar door lock
3. Airplane mag switch

Guess I could also lock the airplane door if necesary.
