Just thinking ahead following the article in the LAA mag re possible 

instrument ratings in homebuilt aircraft.

I have been looking through the web to find the instrument requirements for 

our aircraft but cannot find details. Can anyone help please?

If you have a glass cockpit (ie Dynon) do you need standby instruments? What 

about ADF/ILS/VOR requirements?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Steve



2 x com, 2 x vor/ils, dme, adf, mode S all certified.  Should have standby

altimeter but not sure if you have to and an HIS makes life easier. If and

when we ever get GPS approaches then a certified GPS as well. 



Regards



Pete

Interested in knowing how all that stuff can fit into the Europa panel.... Very busy place I would think ! 

Who already did that ?

Hi Steve,



The equipment requirements for instrument flight are described in the

FAR's.  Interestingly enough, once you have met the requirements of

clocks, gyro based instruments and so on, you don't actually have to

have much.  You need only to have the equipment required to fly the

published approached, so for example if your field has a VOR A

approach you only need one VOR.



I am not sure if it is still the case, but assuming you stay out of

Class B airspace in theory you don't even need a transponder, you

would have to fly the victor airways, use the mandatory reporting

points ect.  In practical terms I can't imagine how ATC would react to

this, other that to tell you to nick off.



I can say that I was flying out west one time and ATC had there radar

coverage go down, so I got routed from "Direct" to the Victor Airways.

 I hadn't done it from my training days and I have done it since.

(thankfully)



With all that said, the above scenario with the equipment level I have

described above is hardly practical, but the FAR's will help you to

determine if the equipment level in an aircraft meets the requirements

for IFR flight

I think Permit C  VFR C Day only is an obstruction.
