Minimum Equipment for IFR
Hi all I appreciate this has been asked a million times but I'm struggling to get a straight answer.
I'm currently doing my IR(R) and am interested to find out what the minimum equipment is that I would need to fly in controlled (D+E) airspace under IFR.
CAP393 states that I need:
"10. Aeroplanes operated under Instrument Flight Rules must be equipped with a means of—
(a)
measuring and displaying the— (i) magnetic heading;
(ii) time in hours, minutes and seconds; (iii) pressure altitude;
(iv) indicated airspeed;
(v) verticalspeed; (vi) turn and slip;
(vii) attitude;
(viii) stabilised heading;
(ix) outside air temperature; and
(x) Mach number, whenever speed limitations are expressed in terms of Mach number;
where gyroscopic instruments are installed, indicating when the supply of power to those instruments is not adequate; and
preventing malfunction of the airspeed indicating system required in paragraph (a)(iv) due to condensation or icing.
(b) (c)" and a transponder
Where as the AIP states that I need DME and ADF if it is needed as part of the navigation. As well as a Mode S transponder.
I'm probably being really thick but I just want to make sure I fully understand this prior to completing the IR(R)
