I don't recall a 337 as changing them to experimental...
337 has nothing to do with EXP/Std reg changeover. It is the number of the form that stands for "major repair or alteration" and is typically accompanied by a new weight and balance when major repairs (reattaching a tailboom for instance) or alterations (like winglets), although may not be necessarily in every case. My SZD59 is EXP reg, but I still went the 337 route when I modded my stock mechanical brakes to a hydraulic Cleveland setup. Didn't need the w&b for this job, since the part total was within 1.5lbs of the old setup and that is all predominantly on CofG, but I didn't trust my old one and wanted to put some weight in the tail, so a fresh w&b was useful to me to determine how much... And why exactly do you want to keep the std reg? Do you use it in a commercial capacity? (obviously not since it has 1 seat...) Exp rating allows you a lot more leeway with *legally getting your ship/cockpit dialed in etc. Work that falls somewhere between changing a tire and needing a 337 still needs to be signed off by an A&P, but a 337 needs an A&I and is much more involved. Std means anything beyond changing a tire/simple maintenance level work has to be farmed out to an A&P, regardless of your skills. -Paul |
