Question of the Week FAR 91.205 states the required equipment for experimental aircraft. But it has the phrase, "...with a standard category U.S. airworthiness certificate..." Does this mean that a homebuilt experimental does NOT require the items listed for day-VFR? If the requirement is still there, please point me to where the regulations require it. Answer: That is correct. An experimental aircraft that is operated day-VFR only does not have to comply with FAR 91.205. Only when flying at night or IFR does the experimental aircraft need to meet 91.205. (This is required by the aircraft's operating limitations, issued as a part of its airworthiness certificate, rather than by the regulation itself.) -------- W.R.

Lots of nice pictures and well written. Quite inovative, I must say! If you recall he had created the DIY glide slope indicator in a prior issue. Nice job Chuck! ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 03:25:59 PM PST US From: "Bill Naumuk" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: We ask good questions Dirk- ...Or find out that your $2K plus D-100 with a state of the art slaved compass is OK. I own both the D-100 compass and a very nice whiskey compass. Considering dual backups, which would you throw out to keep your weight down? I've already replaced nearly all my .016 skins with .020 or .025, and beefed up the structure with all mods that made sense. Very few for cosmetics. I have to compensate somewhere! The cost factor went out the window years ago.

The Op Lims state that the aircraft may only be flown Day VFR unless equipped with the minimum equipment required by 91.205. > > > > I think the lesson here is that by saving $10 for a walmart compass > you may have your plane permanently excluded from night or IFR > operation. > Z -- Bryan Martin N61BM, CH 601 XL, RAM Subaru, Stratus redrive. do not archive. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:35:14 PM PST US From: "Bill Naumuk" Subject: Zenith-List: 5th grader Quick- get on and watch Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader.
