Good morning all,

I'm wondering if someone out there has any information on certifying the
Europa for IFR flight (in the USA). Is there a statement in the
operating limitations that might mention this? I've a person interested
in my bird who is asking about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Jeff,

You don't actually certify for IFR flight. Per the operating limitations it must be equipped in accordance with FAR 91.205 for instrument or night flight.

There you will learn that for IFR you must have: Radios/Nav equipment suitable for the route, gyroscopic rate of turn indcator, slip skid indicator, clock, gyroscopic pitch & bank indicator and gyroscopic direction indicator. In addition, static pitot, altimiter and encoder certification and transponder certification every 24 months.

If you have a GPS navigator (GNS 430 or similar) the database must be updated every 28 days.

If you don't have a GPS navigator (even handheld GPS are usually certified for enroute ifr), you can still fly ifr but you can't fly GPS approaches, you are limited to VOR or ILS approaches.

Jim

I think IFR certified requires a heated pitot also.

..and thus I expect a second alternator such as the BNC or now the EdgePerformance rear mount.

Cheers,
Pete

I am amazed at the knowledge on his list. Thanks to all who have
contacted me concerning IFR flight. You've managed to make it all
clear... Smile

Jeff,

There is no requirement for heated pitot. But it is probably a good idea.
