It's interesting that AH is not required as part of the minimum equipment requirement.
A basic AH is vacuum powered, and therefore has no prominent failure flag. The "failed suction pump" indication is likely to be well outside the primary scan area.

That's one reason why why the law requires, at minimum, some sort of turn indicator. Being electrically powered, the failure indicator is more prominent.
