8.7 AIRPLANE ALTERATIONS
If the owner desires to have the aircraft modified, FAA approval must
be obtained for the alteration. Major alterations accomplished in
accordance with Advisory Circular 43.13-2, when performed by an A & P
mechanic, may be approved by the local FAA office. Major alterations to
the basic airframe or systems not covered by AC 43.13-2 require a
Supplemental Type Certificate.
The owner or pilot is required to ascertain that the following Aircraft
Papers are in order and in the aircraft.
(a) To be displayed in the aircraft at all times:
(1) Aircraft Airworthiness Certificate Form FAA-8 100-2.
(2) Aircraft Registration Certificate Form FAA-8050-3.
(3) Aircraft Radio Station License if transmitters are installed.
(b) To be carried in the aircraft at all times:
(1) Pilot’s Operating Handbook.
(2) Weight and Balance data plus a copy of the latest Repair
and Alteration Form FAA-337, if applicable.
(3) Aircraft equipment list.
Although the aircraft and engine logbooks are not required to be in the
aircraft, they should be made available upon request. Logbooks should be
complete and up to date. Good records will reduce maintenance cost by
giving the mechanic information about what has or has not been
accomplished.
