What is the benefit of using anchor nuts over locknuts in a non-blind attachment? Specifically, the LNC2 instructions call for the use of anchor nuts on the inboard and nose landing gear doors. Every picture of a 320/360 on the ground that I've seen has the gear doors open, where I could get a wrench over the nuts on the inside. There are other places in the manual where either method is considered acceptable. Honestly, I'd like to save a little time if possible by not having to install those anchor nuts...
