Bill,
No, you didnt miss anything. I think you are right that we do NOT have to install TSO items. But, wasnt there also discussion that we had to get it approved by our A&P and/or AI who had to sign off that it was as good as original equipment and how could he know that if its not TSO? Probably I shouldnt have posted any comment at all. Ed _____ From: William R.

If so, we, too, "...have the privilege of using non-certified avionics...". You seem to be implying that "...to follow the rules..." we have to install TSO stuff. Did I miss something somewhere?

However, as certificated aircraft, we have to follow the rules set forth for them. Rules for Coupe instruments were thoroughly discussed recently. See the archives. Ed
