That depends. On the newer, about 1978, airplanes the POH and FAA approved
aircraft flight manual became more standardized. It included the weight and
balance and equipment list. This is an FAA approved document and is REQUIRED
in the airplane during flight. The manufacturers send revisions that are to
be included and ANY reputable maintenance facility would also require the
equipment list be current to sign off an annual.

I am sure there are plenty of dirt ball mechanics that would sign off
without, and plenty of cheapskate pilots who could care less.

While this is true regarding matters solely of weight and balance
concerns, a real equipment list with model and serial numbers is very
useful to the IA in checking AD compliance and may be of some help in
a insurance loss filing.

While this is true, it doesn't change the fact that such a list is *not*
required.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band
to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come
home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".
