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?

Matt, as long as you have the minimun equipment installed that is required for IFR flight. then its my understanding that you can fly IFR if you have the IFR rating. Your FSDO can clear up the matter when you see him Friday...The FAA equiptment list will state what is minimun equiptment for IFR flight.
