David as you probably remember, our B started life as an 'A'. We've got
extensive documentation whereas every single part that made the airframe an
'A', was replaced with 'B' parts. Everything, down to the tiniest detail is
documented. Nothing that made the airframe an A remained.
If you decided to go down this route, I can dig into the paperwork and
photocopy whatever seemed pertinent.... Or maybe just photocopy or scan the
whole STC?

As an IA, I have come to realize that not EVERYTHING is a MAJOR change. The mere fact that the 337 form says "Major repair or alteration" indicates to me that there must also be MINOR changes. I feel the FAA has brow beaten most IAs into submission and everyone is scared to death to change anything. In my shop, this would be a minor modification. It still complies with the type certificate data sheet ("A"s &"Bs" were built on the same tcds), all the pats are approved from the mfg for there intended use and no major changes were required to re plumb it. "removed existing heater fuel pump, installed heater plumbing I.A.W. Aerocommander parts & maintenance manual for model 500B airframe. Operation check normal, A/C is returned to service this date". But hey, I am not the FAA, soooooooooo. jb

Insurance coverage? As long as the mod is not a cause of an accident or damage
it is not an issue. Even if it is and you exhibit due diligence in your
reasoning for doing it as a logbook entry you will be OK. |
