ASTM F3361: AMC to Determine Major/Minor

[bluejeepdad]

Thought this was interesting given that major vs minor alteration is something that generates a lot of questions. I haven't read it yet so I don't know if it is helpful.

All well and good, but very few A&Ps will purchase the ASTM Standard. 9 whole pages for $48.00 even if you buy the pdf version!

AC 43-210A has a good flow chart to determine Major or Minor repairs/alterations.
I just installed snap-vents in the boot cowl to improve the cabin ventilation in my Vag. I used this guidance to determine this to be a Minor Alteration and used this as part of my log entry.

As far as I am concerned AC-43-210A takes a lot of the guess work out of the minor/major argument. It provides a logical decision path and then noting that you used in the log book entry makes more difficult to challenge the entry.
Especially when the FAA hires an “expert” that says Steve’s mid-air collision could have been caused by his boot cowl vent on the opposite side from the exhaust outlet caused him to possibly have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Did they do a blood test to check CO levels? Their “expert” sounds more like a wack job.
