Hi,
Went to close the baggage door on my plane the other day and it didn't sound right. Wouldn't latch and on investigation I see the spring is broken.
Removed the latch and now what to do.
Can you buy just the spring? It looks easy enough but will have to cut the pin and replace that.
So am grounded till I get it fixed as I don't think duct taping it closed is approved
So what is the best route in this case. Buy a used latch or repair this one?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
