If you are studying for your A&P exams, this isn't the place to find
answers.
ALL the answers to the exam are in the 4 bibles....
The Airframe, Powerplant and General Handbook as well as AC43

Have a great day

this has details of the repairs you mention.
they are available from Univair


Thanks for the information. However, my question is hypothetical.
I'm studying for the A&P exams.

"Approved" is defined in Part 1; approved by the Administrator, or his
delegate. As others have mentioned, a stamp and signature in the proper
box of a Form 337 by an FAA inspector constitutes approval of data.
Inspectors aren't very enthusiastic about approving data nowadays, so more
often such approval is given by a Designated Engineering Representative
(who has authority to do so from the Administrator).

Some manufacturers' manuals have parts or chapters approved by the
Administrator. This fact will be stated in the preface of the manual; it
could be a repair manual or flight manual. If the manual does not contain
an approval statement, it is not approved data.

"Acceptable" data isn't defined in Part 1. In practice, acceptable data
is useful for performing maintenance, minor repairs, and minor alterations
of aircraft. Maintenance manuals will be acceptable if not approved;
AC43.13 is acceptable data unless the manufacturer offers data that
conflicts. Some parts of AC43.13 can be used as approved data if the
repair or alteration instructions are directly applicable and not in
conflict with manufacturer's recommendations. Read the preface to
AC43.13.

In practical terms, an authorized inspector can approve a major repair or
alteration based upon approved data. If he only has acceptable data, he
cannot, unless he first has the acceptable data approved by the
Administrator (by field approval by an FAA inspector, or by a DER).

While structural repair manuals for smaller aircraft are most often not
approved, SRMs for larger aircraft most often are. Read the preface.
Flight manuals are nearly always approved. If you don't think there will
be any maintenance-related data in a flight manual, think again.
