- Since 1982 Gyro 5000+ mostly instructing, and approx. 200 fixed wing in the late 1960s.
The ASRA ops manual section 5.09 para 9b.
says, "All tightened bolts must have at leat 2 threads showing".
As the rules stand, the ops manual is the law for our gyros in Oz.
There was some discussion recently where it was reported that the current acceptable aviation practice was, "The bolt could be flush with the nut as long as the bolt thread comes through to the outer end of the nylon".
I have never seen any reference to this and was wondering if I have missed something along the way.
I am not asking which is the best practice only what the "Official" ruling is and why.
Any current LAMEs out there who can shed some light on this
