Was interested to see this when browsing. There's a new NVFR Jab on the market and a mob in WA has 3 of them already. Will be interesting to see how they go... the J230-D

VH-FTE, FTD & FTK. Fast Track Pilot Training.
I'm wondering how they are compliant for NVFR? For NVFR you need either a TSO'ed GPS, VOR or ADF etc, but they have fitted a non TSO'ed Avmap GPS. The primary NAV/COM looks to be the Garmin unit that looks to be the equivalent of an SL40 Nav Com, however to display the VOR it must be coupled to the Dynon EFIS I suspect for the VOR display, however the Dynon unit isn't TSO'ed for IFR so therefore it can't be used for night. In the Cirrus the Garmin 430's are TSO'ed but the Avidyne isn't so a warning is provided to show that the display unit isn't to be used as a primary navigation device.
Unless I've missed something and ASTM 2245-06 means something that I am not aware of. I also didn't realise that LSA allowed for NVFR in the first place either.
