Hey Eliacim: I got a field approval about two months ago for putting the split elevator on a C model. I had done it several times, and included previous approvals as reference, so it was not problem. However, I had not been able to get approval for non TSO items in the past. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 12/11/2008 11:32:01 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Ed asked if the FAA would sign a 337 for non TSO'd position lights. My A&P / IA says the FAA is "not approving" field approvals, meaning that since a couple years on, it has been hard to get field approvals accepted by the FAA. What has been the experience of the forum members with recent field approvals?

Try these: _http://www.whelen.com/aviation/catalog/Position%20Light%20Assemblies.pdf_ (http://www.whelen.com/aviation/catalog/Position%20Light%20Assemblies.pdf) or _http://tinyurl.com/5g4u7h_ (http://tinyurl.com/5g4u7h) Kuntzleman makes a nice set of them, but his are not TSOed. _http://www.kestrobes.com/_ (http://www.kestrobes.com/) Can you get the FAA to sign off on a form 337 for using non-TSOed position lights?
