Mounting Instruments with Lock Washers???

Finally an answer that makes sense! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is also the reason captive nuts are common in instruments. Without them the nuts would loosen for thermal entries one way, and the screws would loosen if you turned the other way. Good pilots just adapt and fly fast without turning. Less adept pilots resort to loctite, stiffnuts, or periodic security checks. Andy
