In summertime, wooden doors can stick due to humidity, while in winter, they shrink from dryness. It's crucial to check wood prop bolts on planes during colder months, as loosened bolts can cause significant damage. Ensuring proper torque can prevent deterioration and ensure safe flying conditions, especially for wood props.
Aircraft bolts are crucial for design, construction, and maintenance. Only use certified AN/NAS/MS bolts for reliability. Proper tightening is vital; too loose risks failure, while over-tightening can weaken components. Safety locking methods are essential to prevent loosening. For comprehensive guidance, refer to AC 43.13-1B/2A and the "Motorbooks International" handbook.
