Log your GPS database updates

[stapler101]

A friend just received a letter from the FAA that he was being violated for not logging his gps updates.
He has been told that VFR gps's do not have to be updated, but if they are updated, you must log it.
If not updated, it must have a placard.
The FAA quotes 43.9 (I believe that is the correct reg in the letter).
This applies only to panel mounted units.

Since Part 43 doesn't apply to experimental aircraft, those owners and users don't need to worry about logging GPS database updates.
