5. The hold open rod of claim 2 , further comprising:

a lock body coupled to the outer tube; and an unlocked indicator arranged on the lock body that is configured to be visible when the hold open rod is in the unlocked configuration,

wherein the unlocked indicator comprises at least one of the following: a visual indicator arranged at a first end of the lock body and a tactile indicator arranged at a first end of the lock body.

6. The hold open rod of claim 5 , further comprising a detent pin arranged in the outer collar and the detent pin configured to engage a groove on the lock body when the hold open rod changes from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration.

7. The hold open rod of claim 6 , wherein:

the outer collar is configured to hold the detent pin and the locking collar is arranged inside the outer collar; and

the locking dog is configured to contact an inner lock groove when the hold open rod is locked.

8. The hold open rod of claim 1 , wherein:

the locking dog is configured to contact an inner lock groove when the hold open rod is locked; the locking dog being configured to slide between the unlock groove and lock groove; and the locking dog being configured to slide between the unlock groove and lock groove.

9. A hold open rod configured to selectively provide damping during particular operational movements, the hold open rod comprising:

an inner tube coupled to an outer tube, the inner tube movable with respect to the outer tube;

a tube stop comprising an inner lock groove arranged on an outside surface the tube stop and the tube stop is configured to prevent the inner tube from separating from the outer tube;

a damping mechanism configured to mechanically damp a movement of the outer tube with respect to the inner tube;

the damping mechanism comprises a damping dog and a damping collar;

the damping collar comprises a damping groove that receives the damping dog when the damping mechanism is in a damping configuration;

the damping collar comprises a non-damping groove that receives the damping dog when the damping mechanism is in a non-damping configuration;

a locking mechanism comprising a locking collar and a locking dog;

the locking collar comprising a lock groove and an unlock groove;

the locking mechanism is configured to locate the locking dog to engage the lock groove and contact the inner lock groove on the outside surface the tube stop when the hold open rod is in a locked configuration.

10. The hold open rod of claim 9 further comprising:

an outer collar coupled at least around the locking collar;

the damping collar being arranged inside the outer collar and the locking collar being arranged inside the outer collar; and

an inner collar spring located within the outer collar configured to engage the locking collar,

wherein the damping mechanism is configured such that the damping groove locates the damping dog to apply a pressure to the inner tube and damp movement of the inner tube that comprises slowing movement of the inner tube with respect to the outer tube.

11. The hold open rod of claim 10 , further comprising a no-unlock feature arranged between the unlock groove and the lock groove,

wherein the no-unlock feature is configured to prevent the locking dog from inadvertently sliding between the unlock groove and lock groove.
