January 31, 2009: Infamous Section 22!



Pg. 22-02, Steps 1-3. Very confusing section! I was pre-warned, and I'm sure this helped but still challenging. (Note to self: make sure you check for updates each day that you work on plane. I thought I had the most current, but did not. Fortunately, I was not at the updated section yet which is on pg. 22-03.) On step 2, plans have you MCS nutplate attach holes on sloped flange of F-1217A-L & R (no problem), MCS all nutplate attach holes on F-1272 Fwd Fuse skin flush on the bottom side (I thought no problem), then MCS upper most hole in F-1288 cooler stiffener (again, no problem). There are holes on the F-1272 at the fwd edge, as well as further aft on the bottom skin. I've not done the holes aft. Step 3 has you dimple the nutplates, but this seems wrong because you've already MCS the holes. Also, this step calls for riveting the nutplates to the F-1217A-L & R, as per the callouts in Feg. 1. This callout cannot be seen, or maybe I'm blind! I'll give this section more thought and go to the forum (again) to see if I can figure it out.
