Having said that type certified aircraft also have them in Canada. Are they required on TC aircraft in the US?

From: Kelly McMullen I have looked through the plans from the point where the door halves are glassed together(Chap 45-50), trying to find when you are supposed to put in the rivets that were left out to be able to cleco the door halves in place during bonding. I have not found one mention. Obviously they also were not prepared anywhere in the plans for flush rivets, so it seems that countersinking is the only choice at this point. While I don't expect the later chapters to discuss deburring etc, I also don't expect to have them leaving more than a dozen rivet holes empty on each side of the completed fuselage.
