A latch assembly (10) for a decompression panel (26) in an aircraft (12) includes a base (42) and a swing arm (44) hinged to the base (42) and pivotable relative to the base (42) about a hinge axis (46) between a latched position and an unlatched position. A load pin (40) fixed to the swing arm (44) has a pin axis (48) a fixed distance from the hinge axis (46). A spring (35) secured to the base (42) is positioned to exert a spring force against the swing arm (44) when the swing arm (44) pivots from the latched position to the unlatched position. A bracket (32) securable to the decompression panel (26) defines a slot (62) retaining the load pin (40) when the swing arm (44) is in the latched position. The load pin (40) is movable in the slot (62) under relative motion of the bracket (32) and the base (42) with the swing arm (44) in the latched position, and exits the slot (62) when the swing arm (44) pivots to the unlatched position.
