Narrative:
Aaip being written by an avionics inspector and the wording in the aaip of 'or equivalent.' I performed their 12 month avionics inspection by complying with the direction in the inspection by verifying proper movement of the needles and DME due to not being aware of what a 104-a is I may have not been using an equivalent device and by not knowing what the device I used and proper model number I am unable to verify the equivalent. The aaip does state what the outcome of the test should be and I did receive the proper results; but now looking back and not having an avionics backgnd and not knowing the model number of equipment used; even though I did receive satisfactory results; it may not have complied with aaip in the eyes of the fisd.
