337? I would guess any ones they asked to be removed never had a 337

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.

Or just any paperwork. I should have been clearer in my post. If the
reality was there was no paperwork - no log book entry at all. Then
the FAA folks are just doing their job by requiring the mirrors be
removed. If the person installing them was properly qualified and made
the required log book entry for a minor modification then it will be
interesting if the FSDO says nope this is indeed a major mod. Who
really knows exactly what happened here? Is there any issue worth
worrying about at all? Or are we just wasting bandwidth?
