Propeller restraint kits for turboprop aircraft are provided which include at least one, and preferably a pair, of propeller restraint systems. Each propeller restraint system will preferably include an open-ended propeller restraint boot that may be formed of a flexible and durable fabric material which is sized and configured for placement over the tip of a propeller blade. A cowling attachment assembly is provided in the kit and is adapted to being attached to an aircraft cowling skin. A propeller boot tether strap of predetermined length interconnects the propeller restraint boot and the cowling attachment assembly. The cowling attachment assembly includes (i) a quick disconnect (QD) pin assembly connected to a terminal end of the propeller boot tether strap, and (ii) a pin receiver adapted to being positionally attached to an interior portion of the aircraft cowling skin.
