Is a airframe log entry required for replacing a GPS data card?

Question

It is my second time replacing the data card in my GPS and i just want to make sure that the FAA will not s***w me over something like this. Is there a log entry required?

Answer 1

I think it might have remember anything replaced with a part no. and serial no. is entered in the aircraft log book (there isn't an airframe log in the aircraft?) an airframe log is for technical records people which is usually under quality assurance.

One good example is the Nav Data uploading which done every month cause it expires after 1 month. It is entered in the aircraft log book as Nav Data Uploaded new expiration 30 April '08.

Answer 2

No. While removing the gps would have ramifications, had you removed it and not made a logbook entry, the data card will not get you in trouble. It is looked upon much the same way as tossing out your expired enroute charts and replacing them with new ones. Getting busted with expired nav gps data is sort of like getting busted for flying with expired enroute charts

Answer 3

No its not required.
