The aircraft locking system includes means for determining whether engines of the aircraft are running (12), means for determining thrust lever position (14), means for determining whether the aircraft is in an air mode or a ground mode (16), and means for determining whether a predetermined number of service/entry doors are closed (18). Means for generating a lock/unlock signal (32, 40) are responsive to the engine running determining means, the thrust lever position determining means, and the service/entry door-closed determining means.
