| Subject: | TSO - vs NON-TSO |
--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Maureen & Bob Christensen" <mchriste@danvilletelco.net>
I'm trying to decided whether to buy a TSOed Sensitive Altimeter or
NON-TSOed?
My concern is accuracy (obviously) and Pitot/Static System Checks.
Are NON-TSOed Altimeters accurate enough to pass the test?
Has anyone researched this issues?
I will be operating some IFR.
Thanks,
Bob Christensen

Hi Bob,
I used the Non TSO'd altimeter sold by Van's in my Europa and it passed the
pitot/static system check just fine.

Bob,
Before I starting buying instruments I checked with the FAA, I was told
if it passes the pitot/ static tests it's OK for IFR flight.

You would need TSO'd equipment if operating for transport or hire, as
defined by the reg's. Most equipment (non-TSO'd) is just as accurate and in some
cases are the same minus the NRC to certify and unit documentation costs.
