Does anyone in the group have any information, experience, or links to
documentation concerning a recent (past 6 months) change in Field Approval
Guidance for FSDO Inspectors requiring that they seek FAA engineering advice

approval no matter what level of documentation, testing, or experience the
applying A&P or FSDO Inspector has regarding the major change or alteration?



Can anybody shed any light on this?

Seems similar to what I went through a few years ago with adding a 2nd heat
muff to my airplane. I believe that this policy has been in place for
considerably longer than six months.

Advice: If at all possible, see if you can have the work done via a simple
logbook entry by your IA.
