Sorted
I just made a phone call. A phone is a great device for talking with people versus guessing and theorizing, so I thought I'd give it a go. I hope this helps Sunny because I invested 5 minutes of my time on this.
- TSO'ed Flight and Navigation instruments are NOT required for Day VFR
- The project CS13/01 is ONLY for IFR aircraft
- ALL aircraft that plan to enter CTA, MUST have a TSO'd primary radio, but a secondary non approved non TSO'ed is ok. A factory built RAA or GA experimental aircraft for example fitted with a Dynon radio can NOT enter CTA legally (Dynon are currently seeking the required approvals for this)
- The paperwork that explains the Day VFR part was released in November last year as an amendment to 20.18
- All radio equipment must be TSO'ed for entry into CTA and this includes the transponder, so that affects the dynon transponder too
- Using the built in Dynon altitude encoder coupled to a TSO'ed transponder is questionable
I hope that clears things up and I am now also a little more educated.
