Let's say Joe Pilot installs a not-TSO'd six point harness in an experimental glider. He puts an entry in the log book. A month later he has the annual inspection done by an A&P. The A&P puts their "all good" sticker in the log book right under the entry for the new harness.



Has the A&P thus "signed off" on the new harness?

Lets inject some common sense here, if you remove, install, add or change anything in your aircraft...................make a log notation! This will alert the next inspector to give this area extra vigilance. I have had a seatbelt come loose in flight and a re-located battery interfered with the tow release. A log entry might have caught these improper installations.
