My coupe was registered as a 415D and also had a weight and ballance of a 415D. \
Anyone can prepare a weight and ballance. That is why I contacted the FAA. As my letter showed, the FAA still considers it a 415C based on the airworthiness certificate. I think the reqirements allowed on TCDS-787 are the modifications that are required, there is and was still a requirement to file and get approved form 8130-6 I believe that if someone has a Coupe that was converted to a 415D but still has a 415C or 415CD airworthiness certificate, it was never "legally" operated as a 415D. I believe there is a good case to present to the FAA.

I know this by experience, since I almost bought a D model that still was registered by the FAA as a 415-C. Probably no big deal, unless the 337 ever got filed or noticed by the FAA. Even the data plate said it was a C. But, the W&B showed 1400 gross wt. *Take care, and buyer beware.
