A chief in Tulsa told me to torque by feel on nutplates and I did it, big mistake
Had a chief mechanic named Dave at a shop near Tulsa International tell me that finger tight plus a quarter turn is all you need for small nutplates on inspection panels. I followed his word for about 6 weeks and lost two screws off a Cherokee panel somewhere over Rogers County. Now I use a inch pound wrench set to 20 on every one of those, even the tiny ones. Anybody else get burned by the old timer feel method?

Learned that lesson the same way, torque wrench on every panel screw now.
