I had an interesting conversation with out local FSDO today. He
basically reported the FAA party line that anything that is "physically
attached" to a production aircraft must have an STC/337/what-ever to be
legal.
This argument is not supported by the regulation (depending on what you
mean by "what-ever"). A 337 is filed persuant to major modification.
The rule defining major modification doesn't say "anything attacdhed to
an aircraft." This is a figment of the FAA field organizaiton.
