Nick, During my flight training I learned GOOSE A CAT to remember mininum required Day VFR equipment:
Gas gauge Oil pressure gauge Oil temp gauge Seat belts ELT Airspeed indicator Compass - magnetic Altimeter Tachometer For Night VFR we added APES: Anti-collison light Position lights External power source (alternator or generator) Spare fuses 'Course for "FAA mandated instruments" for VFR flight I always refer to FAR 91.205 (a) General, (b) Visual-flight rules (day), (c) Visual-flight rules (night). As for transponders, I refer to FARs 91.215 and 91.413, but I always end up talking with an A&P/IA to understand what the FARs are telling me and if I really need one, or need to have it tested every 24 months, or not... AIM HIGH! FLY SAFE!
