    Subject: IFR Certification
    6/14/2009 Hello Ira, Thanks for your input. You wrote: 1) "For VFR into B, C airspace the BMA should be fine according to my reading of the regs." Note that the wording of 14 CFR 91.217 makes no distinction between the requirement for either a TSO'd altitude encoder (91.217 (c)) or a tested altitude encoder (91.217 (b)) for mode C operations (automatic pressure altitude reporting equipment) under IFR or VFR. Further, no class of airspace is excluded from the requirements of 91.217 by the wording therein. Can you cite some regulation that says otherwise? 2) "I treated my airframe to a brand new Sandia SAE5-35 TSO'd blind encoder." A valid solution. When people have attempted to get the assistance of EAA to change / clarify FAA Headquarter's position on this subject that is what EAA has recommended -- just install a TSO'd altitude encoder. 'OC' Says: "The best investment we can make is the effort to gather and understand knowledge." =============================================== Time: 10:35:39 AM PST US Subject: Avionics-List: Re: IFR Certification From: "rampil" <ira.rampil@gmail.com> Actually I didn't condemn the boss, I simply referenced the boss as the key to the problem. I am familiar with the issues you raised which is why when finally got IFR certification for myself, I treated my airframe to a brand new Sandia SAE5-35 TSO'd blind encoder. For VFR into B, C airspace the BMA should be fine according to my reading of the regs. -------- Ira N224XS
