    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Christian Bobka" <bobka@compuserve.com> Kevin and corky, You are right about the 91.507 not applying. I should have realized it was in the subpart dealing with the large aircraft. The reference to "civil twilight" went out with the rewrite of the regs a few years back. It now just says "sunrise to sunset" unless you are in alaska, where another definition applies Nav lights and strobe or RB, that's how I see it. Or is the RB option out the window now? The Saabs I flew has an RB fo0r the A models and strobes on the B model. The A models were built in the late eighties and the B models were made in the nineties. chris Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Holcomb" <ksholcomb@mindspring.com> Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Nav lghts on a Piet > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Kevin Holcomb" <ksholcomb@mindspring.com> > > Here is my understanding of the rules, hopefully it will be of some help to > you, > > 91.507 (or for that matter any of the rules within subpart F of part 91) > does not apply unless you are a large or turbine powered multi-engine > airplane. > > As for lights, here is how I understand the rules for part 91 operations in > an airplane that is not large or turbine powered: > > If you have strobe lights you must use them - Always, unless they are > interefering with the safe conduct of flight (for example reflecting off > clouds or the prop and distracting you.)

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Christian Bobka" <bobka@compuserve.com> Jim, I would think that an experimental could have whatever the builder wants in this regard but the DAR may have other ideas in the this area since one youare flying around, other airplanes will not know you as an experimental but merely as another aircraft airborne at night. Reference the following for color specifications: 23.1397 Color specifications. Each position light color must have the applicable International Commission on Illumination chromaticity coordinates as follows: (a) Aviation red -- y is not greater than 0.335; and z is not greater than 0.002. (b) Aviation green -- x is not greater than 0.4400.320y; x is not greater than y0.170; and y is not less than 0.3900.170x. (c) Aviation white -- x is not less than 0.300 and not greater than 0.540; y is not less than x0.040 or y00.010, whichever is the smaller; and y is not greater than x+0.020 nor 0.6360.400x; Where y0 is the y coordinate of the Planckian radiator for the value of x considered.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "DJ Vegh" <djv@imagedv.com> Jim, I see no reason why LED's could not be used. There are red and green LED's available in the 20,000 MCD brightness value. They are BRIGHT! So bright you can damage your eyes by looking directly at them. If you grouped 5 or 6 of them together each facing a slightly different angle you could make nav lights from them that shine the proper spread angle. They are very low current drain also. I'm not sure why no aircraft light manufacturers have jumped on this bandwagon. LED's have come a very long way in the last 5 years. They make these for cars which are pretty cool.... http://www.xkms.org/JC-Whitney-44/Red-Type-1157-LED-Bulbs.htm direct replacements for incandescent.

    Subject: Re: Nav lghts on a Piet
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Isablcorky@aol.com Chris, After a good nights sleep and a cup of Isabelle's BLACK cajun coffee this morning I found a copy of the "operating limitations" issued by my DAR for 41CC and began reading. I find that that par (6) of Phase 1 says: This aircraft is to be operated under VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (VFR), day only. Under Phase 2, par (4) says: Unless appropriately equipped for night and/ or instrument flight in accordance with par 91.205, this aircraft is to be operated under VFR, day. I interpret this to mean that as long as I provide NX311CC (Repiet) with appropriate equipment for night flying according to the latest regulations a qualified pilot would be allowed to perform VFR night flights. Thanks again for you input on this subject. I can't see how I could possibly perform my proposed "Circum Gulf-Carrib goodwill flight" without night flight capabilities. Corky in La

    Subject: Re: Nav lghts on a Piet
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Kevin Holcomb" <ksholcomb@mindspring.com> Unfortunatly civil twilight is still with us. Per FAR 1.1 (as printed in my 2003 FAR/AIM) "Night means the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight, as published in the American Air Almanac, conveted to local time." This is invoked by FAR 91.205 (c) Visual flight rules (night.) Which starts out with 'For VFR flight at night.....'. I really wish this would go away, sundown to sunset would be so much easier than having to teach my students one definition for counting time as night for proficiency, another for being equipped to fly at night, and yet another for turning the navigation lights on. Student pilots have enough to master without this little bit of trivia to deal with. As for rotating beacons, my understanding is they are an acceptable substitute for strobes on old airplanes (aircraft for which a type certificate was applied for or obtained prior to August 11,1971.) However they are not an acceptable for meeting the night requirements on a new airplane. Thus, you are of course more than welcome to put a rotating beacon on an exerimental, it will probably increase safety somewhat over having nothing. However that beacon will not allow you to operate legally at night. Kevin www.airminded.net

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Christian Bobka" <bobka@compuserve.com> Ah kevin. The light reg in 91 says "sunrise to sunset". It never mentions the word "night". Granted night is defined in Part 1 but it applies solely to 91.205. Part 91.205 is titled "Powered civil aircraft with standard category U.S. airworthiness certificates: Instrument and equipment requirements" and the question was about an experimetnal airworthiness certificate, not a standard category airworthiness certificate so we can ignore part 91.205(c) and revert to the "sunrise to sunset" of 91.209. Its good to go back and forth like this becuase this is how you learn the darn regs! chris 91.209 Aircraft lights. No person may: (a) During the period from sunset to sunrise (or, in Alaska, during the period a prominent unlighted object cannot be seen from a distance of 3 statute miles or the sun is more than 6 degrees below the horizon) -- (1) Operate an aircraft unless it has lighted position lights; (2) Park or move an aircraft in, or in dangerous proximity to, a night flight operations area of an airport unless the aircraft -- (i) Is clearly illuminated; (ii) Has lighted position lights; or (iii) is in an area that is marked by obstruction lights; (3) Anchor an aircraft unless the aircraft -- (i) Has lighted anchor lights; or (ii) Is in an area where anchor lights are not required on vessels; or (b) Operate an aircraft that is equipped with an anticollision light system, unless it has lighted anticollision lights. However, the anticollision lights need not be lighted when the pilot-in-command determines that, because of operating conditions, it would be in the interest of safety to turn the lights off. [Doc. No. 27806, 61 FR 5171, Feb. 9, 1996] 61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command. (a) General experience. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers or of an aircraft certificated for more than one pilot flight crewmember unless that person has made at least three takeoffs and three landings within the preceding 90 days, and -- (i) The person acted as the sole manipulator of the flight controls; and (ii) The required takeoffs and landings were performed in an aircraft of the same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required), and, if the aircraft to be flown is an airplane with a tailwheel, the takeoffs and landings must have been made to a full stop in an airplane with a tailwheel. (2) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, a person may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft under day VFR or day IFR, provided no persons or property are carried on board the aircraft, other than those necessary for the conduct of the flight. (3) The takeoffs and landings required by paragraph (a)(1) of this section may be accomplished in a flight simulator or flight training device that is -- (i) Approved by the Administrator for landings; and (ii) Used in accordance with an approved course conducted by a training center certificated under part 142 of this chapter. (b) Night takeoff and landing experience. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise, unless within the preceding 90 days that person has made at least three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop during the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise, and -- (i) That person acted as sole manipulator of the flight controls; and (ii) The required takeoffs and landings were performed in an aircraft of the same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required). (2) The takeoffs and landings required by paragraph (b)(1) of this section may be accomplished in a flight simulator that is -- (i) Approved by the Administrator for takeoffs and landings, if the visual system is adjusted to represent the period described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section; and (ii) Used in accordance with an approved course conducted by a training center certificated under part 142 of this chapter.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Fred Weaver <mytyweav@earthlink.net> Corky..... Of course you can fly it at night. It simply has to have the right combination of lights. The amount of current required varies with the lights you select. The RV guys have been talking quite a bit about the LED lights and when I have a few minutes, I will provide you with the websites. LED lights use A LOT LESS amps and will provide you with the legal light. The strobe/strobes however use a few amps as I recall... I think you can get away with only two strobes, one on the top and one on the bottom. BTW, I'm not too impressed with the Aeroflash units. The only units that have worked flawlessly for me in the past were Whelen. Spend a little extra money and get Whelen's when it's time. When you flip the switch, they fire off and work. Start running some wire.... Enjoy the opportunity to fly Experimental at Night.

    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: dave rowe <rowed044@shaw.ca> Boy and I thought the US was the land of the free. Maybe it should be called the land of never ending rules. Here in Canada all we need is a spotlight and a whistle. We have twice the land and 1/10th the population, we figure hey, what are the chances of hitting one another. I suppose you guys don't use hand-carved props held together with Moose Glue! (True story by the way, 1930's bush flying history) I guess we have come a long way in aviation this century, but it sure takes some of the adventuring spirit out of things doesn't it!
