What are the equipment requirements to operate day/night VFR ?
I may be being dense but I'm finding it hard to locate a
definitive list ...

Here is the list..

Doug Weiler

------------------------------

Quote:
From FAR 91.205:

(a) General. Except as provided in paragraphs (c)(3) and (e) of this
section, no person may operate a powered civil aircraft with a standard
category U.S. airworthiness certificate in any operation described in
paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section unless that aircraft contains the
instruments and equipment specified in those paragraphs (or FAA-approved
equivalents) for that type of operation, and those instruments and items of
equipment are in operable condition.

(b) Visual-flight rules (day). For VFR flight during the day, the following
instruments and equipment are required:

(1) Airspeed indicator.

(2) Altimeter.

(3) Magnetic direction indicator.

(4) Tachometer for each engine.

(5) Oil pressure gauge for each engine using pressure system.

(6) Temperature gauge for each liquid-cooled engine.

(7) Oil temperature gauge for each air-cooled engine.

(Cool Manifold pressure gauge for each altitude engine.

(9) Fuel gauge indicating the quantity of fuel in each tank.

(10) Landing gear position indicator, if the aircraft has a retractable
landing gear.

(11) For small civil airplanes certificated after March 11, 1996, in
accordance with part 23 of this chapter, an approved aviation red or
aviation white anticollision light system. In the event of failure of any
light of the anticollision light system, operation of the aircraft may
continue to a location where repairs or replacement can be made.

(12) If the aircraft is operated for hire over water and beyond power-off
gliding distance from shore, approved flotation gear readily available to
each occupant and, unless the aircraft is operating under part 121 of this
subchapter, at least one pyrotechnic signaling device. As used in this
section, ³shore² means that area of the land adjacent to the water which is
above the high water mark and excludes land areas which are intermittently
under water.

(13) An approved safety belt with an approved metal-to-metal latching device
for each occupant 2 years of age or older.

(14) For small civil airplanes manufactured after July 18, 1978, an approved
shoulder harness for each front seat. The shoulder harness must be designed
to protect the occupant from serious head injury when the occupant
experiences the ultimate inertia forces specified in §23.561(b)(2) of this
chapter. Each shoulder harness installed at a flight crewmember station must
permit the crewmember, when seated and with the safety belt and shoulder
harness fastened, to perform all functions necessary for flight operations.
For purposes of this paragraph‹

(i) The date of manufacture of an airplane is the date the inspection
acceptance records reflect that the airplane is complete and meets the
FAA-approved type design data; and

(ii) A front seat is a seat located at a flight crewmember station or any
seat located alongside such a seat.

(15) An emergency locator transmitter, if required by §91.207.

(16) For normal, utility, and acrobatic category airplanes with a seating
configuration, excluding pilot seats, of 9 or less, manufactured after
December 12, 1986, a shoulder harness for‹

(i) Each front seat that meets the requirements of §23.785 (g) and (h) of
this chapter in effect on December 12, 1985;

(ii) Each additional seat that meets the requirements of §23.785(g) of this
chapter in effect on December 12, 1985.

(17) For rotorcraft manufactured after September 16, 1992, a shoulder
harness for each seat that meets the requirements of §27.2 or §29.2 of this
chapter in effect on September 16, 1991.

(c) Visual flight rules (night). For VFR flight at night, the following
instruments and equipment are required:

(1) Instruments and equipment specified in paragraph (b) of this section.

(2) Approved position lights.

(3) An approved aviation red or aviation white anticollision light system on
all U.S.-registered civil aircraft. Anticollision light systems initially
installed after August 11, 1971, on aircraft for which a type certificate
was issued or applied for before August 11, 1971, must at least meet the
anticollision light standards of part 23, 25, 27, or 29 of this chapter, as
applicable, that were in effect on August 10, 1971, except that the color
may be either aviation red or aviation white. In the event of failure of any
light of the anticollision light system, operations with the aircraft may be
continued to a stop where repairs or replacement can be made.

(4) If the aircraft is operated for hire, one electric landing light.

(5) An adequate source of electrical energy for all installed electrical and
radio equipment.

(6) One spare set of fuses, or three spare fuses of each kind required, that
are accessible to the pilot in flight.

Check out FAR 91.205(b), (c), & (e). While the start says is is only applicable to standard category aircraft, the operating limitations that will be issued with the Special A/w cert will have a paragraph that says " Unless appropriately equipped in accordance with 21.205 for night and/or IFR flight, the aircraft is restricted to say VFR."

What are the equipment requirements to operate day/night VFR ?
I may be being dense but I'm finding it hard to locate a

Thanks all !!

(I get a mental block just looking at the cover of the FAR/AIM
.)

Follow up question ... in the the "R" in "ATOMS LEFR" - I don't
think I've ever seen a rotating beacon on an RV - do we have to
comply ?

One, two, or three strobe lights fulfill this requirement.
