The Cabin: Framing the Baggage Area

DWGs 25 and 29 show that the inside of the baggage area sidewall is partially covered with two panels. The aft is permanent, but the forward panel must be removable to give access to the flap mechanism. These panels are supported by two ribs, one vertical, one horizontal. I fit the F-724 vertical rib by clecoing it to the F-770 side skin. I then installed the nutplates on the F-722 horizontal ribs and drilled and clecoed them to the side skins. I clecoed the F-750 aft baggage side covers to the F-722 and F-724 ribs, adjusted the top and bottom flanges of F-724 to the longeron and the F-623 rib, and drilled them.

I did additional fitting of the gear mounts and fitted the gear to the mounts.

I also reinforced the armrests with J profiles.

Time: 8 hours.
