CS 25.607 Fasteners

ED Decision 2003/2/RM

(See AMC 25.607)

(a)     Each removable bolt, screw, nut, pin or other removable fastener must incorporate two separate locking devices if –

(1)     Its loss could preclude continued flight and landing within the design limitations of the aeroplane using normal pilot skill and strength; or

(2)     Its loss could result in reduction in pitch, roll or yaw control capability or response below that required by Subpart B of this CS-25.

(b)     The fasteners specified in sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph and their locking devices may not be adversely affected by the environmental conditions associated with the particular installation.

(c)      No self-locking nut may be used on any bolt subject to rotation in operation unless a non-friction locking device is used in addition to the self-locking device.
