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

What part of the "... for Contenued airworthness" is the manufacture saying its recommended? The FAA seems to think its required at their set inspection time...

As you can read in the manual its really a test to keep you from having a air emergency due to electrical failure. So it seems to me that its a safety item that rates right up their with oil and gas

But you as owner can do what you want... however, next time you get ramp checked and they ask for the airworthy cert because it wasn't done use the recommended instead of mandatory arguement and see if it works.

The new buz word is " for Contenued Airworthness... it shall be done...

Fly safe GMAs
