"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.

Mechanics opinions carry most of the weight when dealing with the FAA.
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.
