Take that for what it's worth but be assured it doesn't include the "A" soft ones. They are not even discussed. "AD" rivets are the minimum for any kind of structural fastening. "A", or soft, rivets may sometimes be used for attancing nutplates or some non-structural double flush application where beauty is important, not strength. In the cowl hinge application a 3/16" rivet will be of little help as a chicken rivet but it is better than nothing. Use an AD426-4-? if you can. You could even install it wet with Hysol 9339 for extra strength as you glue down the hinge half to the cowl.
