Subject: RV8-List: Check Valve For Static System Cabin Venting...
Dear Listers,
Looking at the requirements for IFR certification of the RV-8, it looks like the
only thing I don't have is an "alternate static source". This seems like it
would be as simple as adding a "T" valve in the 1/4 neoprem static air tube that
goes along under the left hand canopy rail.
Does anyone have any suggestions on something I could just cut the tube and stick
in line with a little thumb screw to switch between the fuselage or cabin source?
I'm assuming this will meet the requirement?
Thanks!
PS - Attached are a couple of pictures from Taxi-testing and Magnetometer calibration
this weekend. Cool?

Where did you get the ideal an alternate static source was required for IFR flight.
No such thing as an IFR "certification" BTW...

Subject: | TSO'd Instrumentation For IFR? |
Dear Listers,
I'm working with the local FSDO this week and had my airframe inspection on Monday
will get my sign-off this Friday if all goes well. Looking over the requirements
for IFR, it appears that I've got everything I need as far as equipment
is concerned. I have a Garmin SL-30 for Com/Nav and a Garmin GTX-327 for Mode
C transponder. All of the other equipment and functionality is provided by
the GRT Horizon HX sytems including the encoder, attitude, airspeed, altitude,
compass, etc, etc. I do not have any steam gauges or other flight instruments
other than what is provided by GRT through an HX installation.
My question is can my RV-8 be approved for IFR flight with this compliment of GRT
HX specific instrumentation? Or, would I need to have a TSO'd encoder and/or
other TSO'd pieces such as rate-of-turn, slip, sensitive altimeter, artificial
horizon, direction gyro, etc?
