Final answer:
After approving the A/C for return to service, distribute copies of FAA Form 337 to relevant parties, such as the aircraft owner, FAA inspector, and other interested entities.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the inspecting IA, once you have approved the A/C for return to service after a major repair, you can distribute the copies of FAA Form 337 to the relevant parties involved in the repair and inspection process.
- In general, one copy of the form is retained by the aircraft owner or operator for their records.
- Another copy is typically given to the FAA inspector who performed the inspection.
- Additional copies may be distributed to any other parties who have a vested interest in the repair, such as the aircraft manufacturer or maintenance facility.
By ensuring that each relevant party receives a copy of the FAA Form 337, you help maintain a complete and accurate record of the repair and inspection.
