Subject: | If I re-pitch the prop..... |
Yes, it is no more difficult getting your operational limitation changed
than filling out the paper work. I had my older operating limitations
modified to accommodate the 5 hour major modification change. Previously,
I had to get an inspection after each major mod (which with an alternative
engine involved a few), so I got with the local FDSO and had the paperwork
amended - which did require one more inspection. But, since then I re-enter
Phase 1, fly off the 5 hours in test mode, record any changes to basic
flight parameters of the aircraft and certify in the log book that it's safe
to return to regular operation.
IF you do not have this written into your operational limitations (or have
an FAA/DAR inspection) and have an accident after making a "Major Mod" you
insurance company will likely deny any claim - as you have failed to comply
with FAA regulations, etc.

Your Operation Limitations will specify what to do. If they have the more
recent wording, it will require going back into Phase 1 for 5 or so hours
after a major alteration. Some very old ones required a reinspection by the
Feds and they specified the test time. You have to go my the wording of your
own Ops Limitations. If too onerous I suppose you could try to get them
changed. I haven't heard of an Amateur Built doing that but the Exhibition
types have done it.

Subject: RV-List: If I re-pitch the prop.....
I am considering re-pitching the prop on my RV9. If I do, this changes the
"approved engine-prop" combination approved by the FAA when the plane was
certified. Do I now have to fly off 40 hours of test time with this new
engine - prop combination?

I assume you are not carrying any insurance.
If you don't comply with your operating limitations, your
Airworthiness Certificate may not be valid, and your insurance company
could easily use that as an excuse to not pay insurance, even if the
accident had nothing at all to do with the prop.
