TBH, I hadn't actually realized that the inspection sans battery replacement was an *annual* requirement, and have been checking that at 2-year intervals while replacing the batteries, so that's good to know. As a matter of course, I do visually check the installation and activate the ELT via the remote button in the panel each year, but I guess I should take it out and whack it to check the g-sensor, too. Good to know.

In the larger picture, I don't put a lot of things in the aircraft maintenance *logbook*, but I do keep the records, nice and organized.
About the only things in the actual logbook are annual condition inspection sign-offs and pitot/static/XPDR certs. All other maintenance is "logged" via records such as the oil reports, etc.
You are correct that the 91.207 requirement is for an inspection as you cite.
There is nothing specifying who can do it. For standard airworthiness certificate aircraft it has to be a licensed mechanic because it is not preventive maintenance. For experimental aircraft it would appear that anyone could do it, but would be best recorded by the person doing the annual condition inspection. There does need to be a record of the inspection.
As to "logging" and logbooks....most of you know, there is no requirement to keep anything but "records". Keep them in any format, media, etc that you wish, whether 3 ring binder, notebook, file folder, etc. Just do it in a way that is easily available to prove what has been done and to enhance the resale value should you ever need to sell your pride and joy. Logbooks are a tradition, but have limited flexibility.

Any DAR with function codes 46 and 33 can amend amateur-built operating limitations.
