From 2009 to 2015, more than 45 aircraft incidents and accidents resulted from improper torque applied to engine fasteners during maintenance, resulting in a loss of propellers, internal engine damage, and powerplant failures. Watch this video to learn more about the importance of proper torque. | Federal Aviation Administration

Aircraft vibrations — caused by engines, aerodynamic forces, and turbulence — can create repetitive mechanical stresses on fasteners like bolts. Over time, these vibrations may cause bolts to gradually rotate loose, especially if they’re not properly torqued or secured with locking mechanisms. This phenomenon, known as self-loosening, is particularly likely in joints subjected to cyclic loading. To prevent this, aircraft commonly use locking devices such as lock nuts, safety wire, thread-locking
