Minimum Instrument Panel - Experimental VFR?
What would be a reasonable minimum instrument panel for an experimental VFR aircraft?
Two heads are better than One...
Dynon skyview or similar EFIS/Engine combo
Clock (mandatory)
Hobbes
Compass, Magnetic
Altimeter
Airspeed
VHF
Transponder
Garmin 496 ( overkill if skyview nav avaiiable? )
Loss of a Skyview means:
1. No engine instruments.
2. No voltmeter.
3. No fuel gauges.
Therefore land ASAP? Could one continue to the next destination? I suppose so. Could one take off from there without engine instruments assuming fuel calculations were done? Would that be legal if the engine "sounds right" on a mag check?
