Republic of Texas Gary,
The 337 thing is something that was brought up during our last IA seminar and believe me, it raised quite a few eyebrows in the crowd. After the FAA explained it, it DID seem to make sense (but of course, it made "sense" in an FAA sort of way which increased the frequency of our facial twitches.) But I could also relate to the issue because I used to own a 1947 Luscombe that had been officially converted from Day/Nite VFR to Day-only VFR when it received an engine change (many years before I bought it) and the new engine didn't have a place on the accessory cover for a generator. The IA submitted a 337 (he couldn't go with just a simple logbook entry) to officially remove the nighttime authorization. It was still a FUN airplane!
Thanks for the thanks. I've been in the USAF/TXANG since Dec 1971. I'm thinking of making it a career! :-)
YOU go back to airplanes. I'M going to bed!
