Let's assume for a moment that I'm a bumbling idiot and have no idea how to reference a simple table like the one pictured below. Let's assume that I've got a garden-variety AN bolt (let's say an AN3-4A for kicks), and I'm trying to find the proper torque value for it. Let's go a step further, and pretend that bolt is going into a nutplate rather than a nut, and thus I'll be applying the torque to the bolt rather than the nut. Can somebody give me the idiot-proof method for going from an AN-hardware value to the Nut-Bolt size column on the left-hand side of the chart? I've read all the standard refs (AC43.13, Aviation Mechanic Handbook, Standard Aircraft Handbook), and I'm still not making the connection. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!
