Tail Cone Fairing Question

JohnF

Well Known Member
Page 12-10 step 3 says, "Tap the called out nutplates half way through the screw hole per callout in Figure 1" I am a bit puzzled why it is necessary to tap the threads already in the nutplate. Also I am uncertain what "half way though" actually means.

What did you do?

I am messing with the tail cone fairing while awaiting my engine.

Thanks for your help.
