equipment list?

FAR 125 requires actual weighing the aircraft on a schedule.
New aircraft are assumed to be accurate, but not all
airplanes are weighed.

Steve Ellis also addressed this in AOPA Pilot in 2001.

There is nothing that I see that says that an up to date equipment list is
required. Mike Busch quotes an FAA publication that advises that the W&B
"must" be updated and then adds in the same sentence, "then the equipment
list is updated." There is no regulation that requires an equipment list.

However, if you're going to do it, Mike's spreadsheet is a pretty nice way
to go about doing it. He even includes a sign off at the bottom.
