This self-locating fastening assembly ( 14 ) includes a self-locating tie-down member ( 24 ), which is fixedly coupled to one of either the air-frame ( 16 ) or the monument ( 12 ). The self-locating fastening assembly ( 14 ) further includes a socket member ( 26 ), which is coupled to the other of the airframe ( 16 ) or the monument ( 12 ). The self-locating tie-down member ( 24 ) includes a base portion ( 32 ) and a top portion ( 34 ) extending from the base portion ( 32 ). The base portion ( 32 ) is utilized for contacting the socket member ( 26 ) so as to guide said self-locating tie-down member into said socket member and secure the monument ( 12 ) in a predetermined position along at least one direction. Moreover, the top portion ( 34 ) is utilized for further securing the self-locating tie-down member ( 24 ) to the socket member ( 26 ).
