I believe it when I hear it from the local radio shop... Our FSDO demands
that even the remounting of a GPS antenna to be inspected and signed off..
I doubt that they shive a git what some administrator in OK city thinks...

Ummm, immediately after my post, I decided <duh> to actaully look at the
AC... Says right in the first paragraph it is strictly advisory in nature,
so you can expect your local FSDO to do as they damned well please - and I
strongly doubt, based on many decades of experience with fsdo's, that it
will carry the slightest weight with the inspectors, who understand that
inspection requirements are what keep them gainfully employed .....

Use a different avionics shop in a different FSDOs jurisdiction.
