I would research your statement that there is no requirement
to keep the equipment list up to date. It is just not
reasonable to consider that the FAA would require an
equipment list and not require it to be kept current.

Remember that the regulations for an annual require that the
airplane [and that means paper-work too] be maintained in
the same condition as the original or modified and approved
condition.
