Brief Description: Convert Canopy Side Cover Attachment
At the suggestion of my TC during last October's inspection, he thought that attaching the canopy side covers permanently with rivets (IAW the plans) might prove problematic during future maintenance tasks. His suggestion? Nut plates. So that's what I did here. I replaced the 4 rivets (two per cover) with nut plates to secure the covers while making them removable.
