How could Beechcraft miss such a time & money-saving repair such as this? Wow. Does a non-manufacturer repair have to be approved? Or is there an FAA repair procedure that overrides manufacturer recommendations?
@@starstray4326 Wow. I forgot about all the major/minor repair/modification stuff from A&P school so long ago! I've always worked at repair stations or manufacturers and have never had to fill out a form or sign any work off, ever! Now when I get to working on old Cessnas in my garage that'll have to change, of course.
Having worked many years in structures, it's easier for me to grab & assemble a gun & bar rather than get a squeeze and two different sets. I have never owned a squeeze, mainly because most of my work has been bigger/heavier stuff.
I'm interested how you got the hinge pin back in? Pulling it out is one thing, but "pushing" it back in ?

Yep has to be approved with a form 337 since it is a major repair

@@crooked-halo Yep, that is the glorious thing about repair stations hahaha
Gotta wonder why they didn't use a squeezer instead of a rivet gun.
