Galin, This is a real big deal. congratulations. Kent From: Galin Hernandez Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2015 2:49 PM Subject: KIS-List: KIS Cruiser becomes the 1st US Registered EAB into Havana Cuba. I had the privilege of receiving permission from the Cuban Civil Aviation Authority to land my KIS Cruiser EAB (N819PR) in to Havana which I did on December 4, 2015 thus being, as far as I can tell, the 1st US registered EAB to land in Cuba. As far as I can tell the 1st EAB to arrive in Cuba was a Canadian registered Seawind flown by either Vincent Rossi or Dimitrios Mamais who landed in to Havana sometime between 1996 and 1999. I will get around to doing a write up of the whole trip but I have to figure out my notes first. In the mean time here is a link to a photobucket album showing how bad the weather was when we arrived. We didn't have any lightning just torrential rain and a bumpy ride. We saw the runway lights at about 1,200ft and finally broke out about 800ft. http://s1370.photobucket.com/user/ghrmsr/library/1st%20US%20Experimental% 20to%20Havana ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:26:39 PM PST US Subject: Re: KIS-List: KIS Cruiser becomes the 1st US Registered EAB into Havana Cuba.

The DYNON is not a navigator but flight instruments. The Garmin 430W and the VAL INS-429 are both IFR certified navigation systems. The DYNON provides the flight instruments and displays the navigation data from the G430W with the VAL INS-429 as a completely independent IFR navigator. :) On Sun, Dec 13, 2015 at 8:39 PM, Alfred Rosa wrote: > Cool panel.

I think maybe you are referring to radios (including GPS's) that are "TSO'ed" as is required in most certified aircraft. TSO is not a requirement for use in an EAB aircraft. Also according to a recent FAA advisory letter, it does not look like TSO certified equipment is even required for ADS-B out or for navigation under IFR conditions in an EAB aircraft. But of course your local FSDO and you may have other ideas.
