Registration
3.1
FAA Form 337
For most installations an FAA Form 337 will be required for registration. Additional information
regarding the completion of FAA Form 337 can be found in Advisory Circular AC 43.9-1
(Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337). AC 43-210 (Standardized Procedures for
Requesting Field Approval of Data, Major Alterations and Repairs) provides further guidance.
Data used as a basis for approving major repairs or alterations for return to service must be
FAA-approved prior to its use for that purpose and includes: FAR (e.g., airworthiness
directives), ACs (e.g., AC 43.13-1 and 43.13-2 under certain circumstances), TSOs, parts
manufacturing approval (PMA), FAA-approved manufacturer’s instructions, kits and service
handbooks, type certificate data sheets and aircraft specifications. Other forms of approved
data would be those approved by a designated engineering representative (DER), a
manufacturer holding a delegation option authorization (DOA), STCs and, with certain
limitations, previous FAA field approvals.
Supporting data such as stress analyses, test reports, sketches, or photographs should be
submitted with the FAA Form 337. The Artex Description, Operation, Installation and
Maintenance Manual may be used as supporting data; however, it is not FAA approved data.
These supporting data will be returned to the applicant by the local FAA district office since only
FAA Form 337 is retained as a part of the aircraft records at Oklahoma City.
3.2
Radio Station License - USA
The FCC does not require a radio station license for Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs).
See the FCC web site at
http://wireless.fcc.gov/aviation/fctsht4.html which states:
“On October 26, 1996, the FCC released a Report and Order in WT Docket No.
96-82, FCC 96-421 eliminating the individual licensing requirement for all
aircraft operating domestically. This means that you do not need a license to
operate a two-way VHF radio radar, or ELT aboard aircraft operating
domestically. All other aircraft radio stations must be licensed by the FCC
either individually or by fleet.”
,
FCC Form 605 which replaced FCC Form 404 in 1999 is not required for ELTs.
