Are we really going to get into the TSO'd non-TSO'd thing again? Here's the answer you're looking for.
If you or someone you know thinks you need to have TSO'd instruments, then stop bellyachin' and get them. The cost difference is not that much and all the back hangar lawyers will be happy.

Ralph, We had the discussion a while agon and the conclusion was that the Ercoupe should be kept as certified. At time of certification, TSO did not excist. So a non-TSO instrument is good enough. They are not worse than TSo'd ones. Sometimes even better according to the specialists I talked to.

My United altimeter broke and it would cost $581 by TGH to fix it. I can get a new but non-TSO'd altimeter for less than half that. Just wondering the likelihood and hassle of getting approval for a non-TSO altimeter...anybody on the list do that?
