Doug Hereford Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Chanik, As I have said in each previous post, 43.13 is a performance rule. It does not give approval to alter. It gives requirements to perform the work once approval is granted.....by what ever means that approval is granted. In the SLSA world, that approval has to come from the manufacturer (does not matter whether major or minor). As you have eluded to, in the Standard Airworthiness world, minor alterations need no formal approval, and so long as they meet the appropriate airworthiness standards for which the altered product was certificated, and the alteration is performed IAW 43.13, all is well. 43.13 should not be looked at as a blanket LOA for stuff that the owner/mechanic feels is insignificant. I agree that individual judgement is the most important piece of the puzzle. Doug Hereford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
