Please don't get us wrong... discussing different issues has always been a healthy approch to improvement as well as insight into different experances... those of you reading along should not assume that we are bickering... no instead you should also go look up the issue and see if it applies to your plane/experiance... food for the head.

That section you refer to says "recommended", not "mandatory". It is not required for an annual inspection to accomplish to return to service.
