It is for "Major repairs and alterations".

The way I understand it, form 337 records a deviation between a
particular aircraft or subassembly and its type certification data.
Homebuilts, by and large (there are exceptions), do not hold type
certification, so form 337 is neither required nor valid for them.

No, homebuilts are type certificated under Part 21 as Experimental.

14CFR Part 43.1 Applicability... sez not applicable to experimental, etc., etc.

Well, a 337 is also used to record a Major Repair, but I think that
the PMI's figure that they already have enough work to stay busy.

Go figure,

Still doesn't matter. Part 43 doesn't apply to homebuilts. There's no reason
to notify the FAA about repairs.

Ron, I am not even sure that you need to notify FAA with the later operating
limitations. I just upgraded mine to the latest version and it only says
I must return to phase 1 for 5 hours after major modifications

Some equipment I installed mentions form 337 - for example VOR/LOC/GS receiver,
IFR GPS, etc., Is 337 required in a new kit project? It is for "Major repairs
and alterations".


337's are not required for alterations to homebuilts. You are required to "notify"
the FAA of changes in the design (this will be in your operating limitations). No
A&P, DAR, or anything else is required.

If anybody wants to hijack this thread, all they have to do is name a
series of homebuilt kit aircraft that generally carry standard
airworthiness certificates. I know of one...

Thanks, and best regards

Sorry Bob, I cheated.

Also the Schweizer 2-22CK. I built one.
