Final Equipment List

Some airplanes have a Minimum Equipment List. It's a topic you have to learn a bit about to get your private pilot ticket. Presented herewith is the Final Version of the somewhat analogous Alaska Equipment List. If it's in italics, I still need to go buy it as of the date and time of this post. Nothing like waiting to the last minute, huh?
