repair actions record who, what, when, where and how of the task 
performed. This collection focuses on the Form 337 which is collected 
by the FAA. Other records for preventative maintenance, and logbook

personnel; proper tooling is utilized and accurate measures to insure 
safety. Total form 337s submitted in 2017 is 54,237. Total aircraft 
registrations on file is 289,490. It is estimated by the numbers

major alteration and repairs performed. Each 337 takes approximately 1 
hour.
