A cover for use with aircraft equipment that covers the opening of an aircraft housing using two sets of moveable arms to secure the shield in place. A drive mechanism containing a nut that engages with the two sets of arms differently to allow movement of the two sets of arms at different rates and to allow one set of arms to move when another set of arms is locked in place. Both sets of arms as well as the hub assembly containing the drive mechanism are covered with a weather resistant fabric that prevents material from entering the housing. The arms are pivotably connected to a hub assembly housing that allows one end of the arms to pivot in a direction opposite the direction of movement of the opposing side of the same arm.
