I have a couple of questions regarding the attachment of the flap actuator to the flap actuator weldment (Dwg 33, Detail E).
a) Since we?re using a nylon nut, why does it need to be safety wired?
b) What is supposed to be wired, the nut or the bolt?
c) If you only wire the nut or the bolt then isn?t the other still free to rotate? So shouldn?t both be wired?
This will be my first safety wire operation, so I?d like to do it right but I?d also like to understand the reasoning behind it.
