A mounting apparatus for mounting a gas turbine engine to an aircraft. The mounting apparatus includes a thrust strut operably connected to the gas turbine engine and the aircraft. The thrust strut defines a thrust strut axis. The mounting apparatus further includes a restraining structure. The restraining structure includes a bracket circumferentially disposed on the thrust strut and at least one elongate member connected to the bracket and the gas turbine engine. The restraining structure radially and circumferentially constrains the thrust strut with respect to the thrust strut axis of the thrust strut while allowing the thrust strut to move in the direction of thrust strut axis.
