An aircraft nacelle (10) is disclosed and includes a first fan cowl (20A) and a second fan cowl (20B). An opening (94) is defined in an exterior surface of the first fan cowl (20A). The aircraft nacelle (10) also includes a blade (64), a latch mechanism (50), an arm (110), and a linkage assembly (142) operably connecting the arm (110) to the blade (64). The blade (64) is moveable along between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch mechanism (50) is moveable between a latched position an unlatched position where a portion of the latch mechanism (50) obstructs a path of movement of the blade (64). The arm (110) is unable to move from an extended position where a portion of the arm (110) extends through the opening (94) in the exterior surface (8) of the aircraft nacelle (10) into a retracted position within an interior volume of the aircraft nacelle (10) when the blade (64) is in the deployed position and the latch mechanism (50) is in the unlatched position.
