![]() "RST Engineering" wrote in message ... "It is the MECHANIC'S opinion as to what constitutes a major or minor repair or modification". That pretty much cuts it for me. Unfortunately, it may not cut it for the next mechanic that wants to sign off the airplane. Or it might not cut it for the FAA maintenance inspector when you want to put it on 135. Mechanics opinions don't carry much weight in aviation. FAA paperwork does. Karl |

A short converstaion with your local FSDO inspector will quickly show you that. We had a new pilot buy a piece of **** Beech Musketeer and bring it back here. this guy knew less than nothing and had no business buying an airplane. Engine doesn't make compression, dozens of rivets sanded to with an inch of their life, magnesium control surfaces horribly corroded, windshield has two cracks at least a foot long, the spinner is from a Piper Cub. When all of this and more was brought to the attention of the FSDO they said there's nothing they can do unless the annual was signed off preety much that day. A few months and all bets are off. The FAA legal department would never allow them to ground that plane or go after the IA. |
