A latch assembly for a door is provided. The latch assembly includes a latch keep carried by one of the door and the surrounding structure and having a strike seat in which a strike may be removably received, a latch carried by the other of the door and the surrounding structure and having a catch configured to engage the strike, and a cable having a first portion secured to the other of the door and the surrounding structure and a second portion carrying the strike.

An aircraft door latch arm rotation limiting device incorporates a flexible strap having a proximal end and distal end. The distal end is insertable through a loop eye proximate to an aircraft door. An elongate sleeve is disposed on the proximal end of the flexible strap and the sleeve is received over a rotatable latch arm of an aircraft door. A first receiving element intermediate the proximal and distal ends of the flexible strap releasably engages the distal end of the flexible strap to establish a first predetermined looped strap length restricting rotation of the lever beyond a partially open position. A second receiving element is disposed between the first receiving element and the proximal end on the flexible strap to releasably engage the distal end to establish a second predetermined looped strap length preventing rotation of the lever from a closed position.
