Privately owned or not at 0:35 you can see a "person" installing a fastener on the aircraft with some sort of battery operated power tool from a hardware store. It should be done with a properly calibrated torque wrench or properly calibrated torque limited pneumatic screw driver commonly called a 35 pounder. (35 inch pounds for 3/16ths screws and 65 lbs for quarter inch screws, etc) The calibration should be properly labeled on a sticker applied to the body of the torque wrench somewhere.
@JetMechMA I am an A&P mechanic on corporate jets. You are an ass. You wouldn't last a day working in the private sector. Torque wrench for panel fasteners haha.
@Mastinox803 OK Mr yellow death nastinox, how many times a day does your corporate jet fly? What is it's daily utilization rate? How many people does your aircraft transport every day? You see, that's why it may not matter whether you follow the law or not, but it matters on airliners.
@JetMechMA It is like saying that you need X amount of pressure to wipe your ass or you are not properly wiping your ass. It only matters on airliners because you have a union that forces you to complete jobs at the least efficient, least profitable rate. Unnecessary overkill so they can justify screwing the company on labor costs. Ive worked on F'18's and even T-2's without the use of a torque wrench on panel fasteners. High G's and high sorties. Zero problems. Take the stick out of your ass.
@Mastinox803 Dude, it's cool to follow the rules. Do your pilots a favor and start following the rules. It's the right thing to do. YOU are the last line of defense for aviation safety. Everybody is depending on you. Use proper torque. Use proper fasteners out of the IPC with the proper effectivity for your exact aircraft. I was in the military too and I know exactly what you are refering to. Guess what, the military aren't licensed mechanics....and it shows. Now I know better.
@Mastinox803 Dude. AC43.13-1B may not be required reading in the military, but it IS in the real world. You don't follow that book, you don't keep your A&P very long, big union shop or one-man repair station. There's more to aviation than the military.
Greece still uses this aircraft for training..!! :)

@MrVader33: really guy you're butt hurt about them using a Makita? and who's to say someone didn't come back by with a torque wrench?
JM: While you've convinced me, others might not be convinced. Just sayin.
