Which person is responsible for preparing FAA Form 337 when the work requires it?

• A. The person who performs or supervises the work
• B. The aircraft owner
• C. The FAA inspector
• D. The maintenance shop receptionist

Answer: (A)

When a major repair or alteration is done, the person who performs or supervises the work is responsible for preparing FAA Form 337. This form serves as the official record that the work was carried out using approved data and instructions and that it complies with applicable regulations. The person in charge—usually the mechanic performing the work or the supervising technician—signs the form to certify that the work was completed properly and is airworthy. The aircraft owner isn’t the one who signs off on the technical work, and an FAA inspector or a receptionist in the shop wouldn’t certify the repair or alteration. So the signer and preparer must be the person directly responsible for performing or supervising the work.
