equipment list?

A real annual is when the AI actual looks at all the details
and the owner wants it done right, not just cheap.

listed.

AFM

| equipment list and the FAA should have a copy of that in
the
| registry in OKC. You can then survey the airplane [good
| time to do a real annual]
|
| As opposed to an "unreal annual?" I am not sure what you
mean by this.
|
| and verify that each item is
| really installed, update to include serial numbers and
| current AD status and add any items that have been added
and
| delete items that are no longer installed.
|

entries and an
| equipment list from a plane of the same year and model.
