Chris:
The program letter is normal. I echo Marc's comments. Also adding
that your local FSDO would prefer that it is registered with them, not
the FSDO near to whoever first registered the aircraft.
Below is my program letter, filed once at the time I got a new EXP
certificate. It included a color photograph and 3-view drawing of the
glider, which the airworthiness officer at my FSDO asked for. The
program letter is of the KISS variety.
My local FSDO has some great people. I understand they're not all as
pilot-friendly elsewhere. And most DARs seem to be more strict with
rule interpretation.
The reason for changing my certificate was that the specified FSDO to
receive an annual program letter no longer existed.
