44
What is a minor modification?
One that has no appreciable effect on; - mass - balance - structural strength - reliability - operational characteristics - noise - fuel venting - exhaust emissions - or others affecting airworthiness
45
What is completed for a minor change with an EASA controlled aircraft?
An “application of approval of minor change/minor repair design” form.
46
Who can approve a minor changes?
The agency or appropriately approved design organisation under a procedure agreed with the agency

Any major modification to an aircraft must gain...?
Approval
48
Who can apply for approval of a major change?
