At some point you've got to apply some common sense. If I called the FAA every time I changed pitch on my ground adjustable prop, they'd start blocking my calls :-)
But you tested all the pitch possibilities in Phase 1 and documented them - right? ;-)

To Mike's point - I was discussing putting the plane back into Phase 1 to test aileron gap seals. I mean - that IS major - right? Change in handling and aerodynamic qualities. The inspector at the FSDO was like - "notify me - oh - if you must.......".

Another way to look at it might be - when you sell the plane - are the possibilities documented enough for the buyer to be safe applying them?
