I'm curious, for the 690/Jetprop guys on here, how many actually use the factory internal gust lock?
I've notice a lot of Commanders are missing it altogether, so for those who do not know what I am talking about, it is two pieces of metal, connected by a wire. One piece is a rod with a thing on top which says "Control Lock Installed" and goes into a hole on the control yoke to secure the ailerons. The other piece is a T-shaped pice of metal which connects the control column to the rudder pedals to secure the elevator and rudder. You can see from the AFM excerpt how it works.
