Re-post of info per request.

   

  Each item has three categories Day VFR, Night VFR, IFR (day or night). The format is still messed up but it should go through

   

  MINIMUM INSTRUMENT AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

FOR POWERED AMATEUR BUILT EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT

   

  Introduction: The table below is intended to give the builder of amateur built experimental 

aircraft a ready reference for the instrument and equipment requirements for his aircraft. The 

builder should note that some items required by the FAR's are described in the FAR's as 

needing to be approved, but since there are no certification standards established for amateur built experimental aircraft no formal individual item approval, such as meeting a TSO  (Technical Standard Order) or FAR Part 23, is required. However certain items must interface properly with ATC (Air Traffic Control), other aircraft, or other  entities external to the aircraft. Transponders, communication radios, exterior lighting and ELT's (Emergency 

Locator Transmitters) are examples of such equipment. Therefore, the builder can expect that the initial airworthiness inspection of his aircraft will require evidence that this type of 

equipment in the aircraft is acceptable to the FAA.

   

  The Special Airworthiness Certificate issued for each amateur built experimental aircraft 

includes specific Operating Limitations.  Per FAA Order 8130.2F the Operating Limitations 

state: "After completion of Phase I flight testing, unless appropriately equipped for night 

and/or instrument flight in accordance with 91.205, this aircraft is to be operated under VFR, 

day only."  The FAR's, FAA Order 8130.2F, and current FAA policy have been used in 

constructing the below amateur built experimental aircraft configuration requirements table. 

  THIS TABLE  DOES NOT PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEST PRACTICES. 

INSTALLING ONLY THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ITEMS MAY NOT BE PRUDENT OR 

SAFE.

 Regurgitating the FARs is most likely deja-vu to most builders.  "Evidence" here is just as open to interpretation as the result of what King James did to the "Bible". Still best to find out how your DAR reads chapter&verse.  You spent years of your life building the sumbitch, why crash&burn on judgement day?
