[TABLE 7-2. DER Signatures]{.underline}

**a. Checklist Table.** This checklist is issued for guidance purposes
to help show completeness of documentation for the FAA field approval
and return to service process. The checklist is intended to provide
guidance information during the process of approving the relocation of
existing circuit breaker and electrical panels and then returning the
airplane to service. An airplane modification is eligible to use this
checklist when it has met the requirements outlined in paragraph 8 of
this AC.

**b. Approval.** Modifications meeting the scope described in paragraph
c may be approved by using this checklist and completing FAA Form 337.
The IA can approve this modification and the airplane incorporating it
for return to service using DER data entirely approved by completing
Block 7, "Approval for Return to Service" of FAA Form 337. The FAA usage
of Block 3, "For FAA Use Only" will not be required to accomplish this
checklist for modifications, which falls within the scope of paragraph c
providing that no data approval is required by AFS/ASI.

**c. Airworthiness Compliance Checklist Applicability.** This checklist
is to be used only on repairs or alterations to:

-   Airplanes 6,000 pounds or less maximum gross weight

-   Airplanes having a single, naturally aspirated reciprocating piston
    engine

-   Unpressurized airplanes.

**d. Checklist Use.** Inspect the alteration criteria and examine its
supporting data to verify that they meet the following criteria:

**(1)** Existing circuit breaker or electrical panels are retained. They
are simply moved to a new location. There are no new panels installed.

**(2)** Appropriate operations advisory information should be included
in the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) of Flight Manual Supplement (FMS).

> **NOTE 1**
>
> This checklist is not applicable to modifications requiring revision
> of the FAA approved Limitations section of the AFM or FMS. Please
> contact FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Aircraft
> Certification Office (ACO) representatives for modifications requiring
> revision of the Limitations section. However, in accordance with
> 14 CFR, part 23, § 23.1581 (b)(2)(ii), Operational advisory
> information as prescribed in §§ 23.1585 through 23.1589, may be
> inserted into the AFM or FMS in a manner acceptable to the
> administrator. The FAA has determined that, for modifications within
> the scope described on this checklist, operational advisory
> information can be inserted into the AFM or FMS if it is determined to
> be acceptable by the IA. The IA\'s finding should include
> consideration of information provide by applicable equipment
> manufactures, if available.

**(3)** The circuit breaker panel or electrical panel must be as readily
accessible and visible to the pilot in its new location as it was in its
previous location. It should comply with 14 CFR, part 23, § 23.1357,
CAR, § 3.691.

**(4)** Any additional Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
are properly documented per 14 CFR, part 23, § 23.1529 requirements.

# e. Necessary Approvals.

**(1)** DER\'s should initial all applicable items in Table 1-1,
"Checklist and Qualifications for DER Data Review".

**(2)** DER\'s should sign the table in Table 1-2, "DER Signatures".

**(6)** When all FAA Form 8110-3\'s are complete, give originals along
with the completed FAA Form 337 to local FSDO office.

**(7)** An ACO Engineer or FSDO Inspector may sign in place of any DER
signature.

**(8)** When indicated on individual checklists A & P and IA\'s
signatures can be substituted

**f. Applicable Guidance Material.**

**g. Evidence of DER Authority to Approve.**

h.  **Complete Checklist Process.** Send a copy of the completed
    checklist and reporting data to the local FSDO office which will, in

    City, Oklahoma, for inclusion in the aircraft record. Submit
    originals to the aircraft owner or operator to be kept with the
