VFR panel ideas ??

In my view, if you only fly daylight VFR, you don't need backup ASI or altimiter.
I agree 100%.

Unfortunately both authorities with whom I'm involved (UK and Oz) think otherwise and insist we have these things. The UK even makes a standby compass a mandatory item.....chocolate fire guard springs to mind


Paul,

I don't think we need to have backup ASI or altimiter in OZ (?). At least nobody told me!

cheers

I sure get a kick out of you Oz folk. Had to google that "chocolate fire guard" bit.

Ross, If you have an Experimental Certificate and a VH- number - which you do - and you don't have a backup ASI and ALT - which you don't - then either the AP made a mistake in issuing the certificate (unlikely) or we don't need a backup ASI and Alt. I haven't seen that in any CASA EAB aircraft documents so far. Having said that though, I am putting both on my panel - personal choice based on my comfort level.
