337? I would guess any ones they asked to be removed never had a 337
completed for install? Or are you saying that even with a 337 for an
install that the FAA is reversing the field approval and is now
insisting on a STC.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get an outside mirror
installation which will be acceptable to the FAA? I would really like
to have a better view while in flight.


Darryl,

I believe that the mirrors were put on without any documentation and
that is why they were required to remove them.

Who made the determination that installing a mirror is a major
alteration? Depending on what was done, I can certainly see how a
simple installation could be a minor alteration with only a logbook
entry required.
