Under 14 CFR Part 43, which statement is true about repairs?

Under 14 CFR Part 43, repairs must be performed in accordance with FAA-approved data. The important distinction is between major and minor repairs. Major repairs involve a substantial change in strength, performance, weight, or structure, and require FAA approval and appropriate repair data (often with formal approval or field approval). Minor repairs are limited in scope and may be performed using FAA-approved data without needing separate FAA approval. Therefore, the true statement is that a minor repair may be performed per approved data. The other options imply that major repairs can be done with only approved data (without FAA approval) or that minor repairs require FAA approval, or that major repairs don’t require approval, which are not correct.
