Misled or not I cannot confirm or deny. The Washington FSDO FAA inspector made it clear he would not sign off the airworthiness certificate if the "backup" gauges were not installed and properly calibrated. I caused that to happen and he did sign. I think that might be called the power of

The Washington FSDO FAA Inspector that did my airworthiness inspection required me to install a mechanical airspeed indicator and a mechanical magnetic compass before the inspection. I had asked for day and night VFR operations for the airworthiness inspection application. Night VFR is the

Mark; Because GPS is based on satellites, how would the signal in a local area be shut down? Broadcast an interfering signal? FARs don't require backup instruments, and experimentals can use any form of the basic VFR instruments they want.(airspeed, altimeter, oil pressure, RPM, fuel quantity

There used to be a prevailing attitude that if you were using a "glass panel", you'd still need backup "steam" gauges for basic stuff like compass, airspeed, and altimeter. I've done some research on this, and see no requirement mandating the backups, so maybe it's just prudence. I have an
