Aircraft monument integrated attachment device

A method for connecting a monument attachment apparatus to an aircraft panel, comprising:

• providing the aircraft panel comprising a first exterior wall, a second exterior wall, a core, and a first aperture extending through the first exterior wall, the second exterior wall and the core;
• providing the monument attachment apparatus comprising a second aperture configured to receive a fastener, a user' s fingers and a tool to fasten the fastener, a pair of spaced apart parallel flanges, the spacing of said flanges generally corresponding to a width of the aircraft panel, and a third aperture to receive a fastener to couple the panel to an aircraft, the third aperture being in a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane of the second aperture;
• aligning the monument attachment apparatus in the first aperture in the aircraft panel such that a bottom edge of the aircraft panel aligns with a bottom edge of the monument attachment apparatus;
• and
• bonding the monument attachment apparatus to the aircraft panel, wherein bonding comprises bonding a first flange of the pair of spaced apart flanges to an interior surface of the first exterior wall and bonding a flange of the pair of spaced apart flanges to an interior surface of the second interior wall;
• wherein, upon bonding the monument attachment apparatus to the aircraft panel, the first aperture provides a recess for introducing a fastener into the second aperture and through the third aperture.
