REFLECTOR: IFR GPS

[Al Gietzen]

Thanks, Glenn.

 

The operating limitations clearly state:

 

-        After completion of phase 1 testing, unless appropriately equipped
for night and/or instrument flight in accordance with 91.205, this aircraft
is to be operated under VFR, day only.

The short answer is that the FAA puts the sections of parts 91 and 43 that
they want you to comply with in your operating limits when they issue your
airworthiness certificate. 

 

If the operating limits say "day VFR only" then you can't fly IFR. If you
tell the FAA you want night or IFR then they will specify 91.205 in the
operating limits for these types of flight. 

 

This is also where the conditional inspection requirement is documented,
since part 43 doesn't otherwise apply. 


Regards,

 

Glenn

FAR 91.205 is for :

 

"Sec. 91.205

Powered civil aircraft with standard category U.S. airworthiness
certificates: Instrument and equipment requirements."

 

We have Experimental certificates, Not standard. Or.. did I miss some small
print? 

 

Just a note. You are the factory. You decide what makes your plane IFR, not
the FAA. 

 

Hum-m-m; well, I assumed that 91.205 applied; but this sufficiently muddys
the water. What, then are the equipment and instrumentation requirements for
'Experimental' aircraft - or is 'experimental actually a subcategory of
'Standard' Category?

Well, not quite; it needs to meet the FAR 91.205 requirements.
