Access cover panel assemblies are provided that are especially useful to cover access openings of aircraft wing fuel tanks and include an inner cover plate and an outer cover plate spaced from the inner cover plate which defines a circumferentially spaced-apart plurality of apertures. A circumferentially spaced-apart plurality of generally U-shaped floating nut plates dependently extend from the inner cover plate toward the outer cover plate with each nut plate being in alignment with a respective one of the apertures. A corresponding plurality of attachment bolts extend through each of the apertures of the outer cover plate and are threadably coupled to a respective one of the floating nut plates to thereby removably secure the inner and outer cover plates to one another and to the surrounding structure defining the access opening.
