A technician performs a major repair on the wing skin of a Piper Cherokee involving structural rework beyond the limits of the aircraft's minor repair category. According to 14 CFR Part 43, which form must be completed and a copy submitted to the FAA?
- AFAA Form 8100-2
- BFAA Form 337
- CFAA Form 8110-3
- DFAA Form 8130-3
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. FAA Form 337
FAA Form 337, Major Repair and Alteration, is required under 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix B, to document major repairs and alterations. A copy must be given to the aircraft owner and, in most cases, submitted to the FAA.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Form 8100-2 is a standard airworthiness certificate application, unrelated here.
- C. Form 8110-3 relates to design/data approval, not repair records.
- D. Form 8130-3 is an airworthiness approval tag for parts, not repairs.
FAA Form 337
The form used to record and report major repairs and alterations performed on an aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance, per Part 43 Appendix B.
- Required for major repairs/alterations, not minor ones
- Copy given to aircraft owner
- Copy generally submitted to FAA within 48 hours if returned to service
- Becomes a permanent maintenance record
Memory trick: '337' sounds like 'DIY' major fix paperwork you must file
