required equipment Multi checkride
Hi all, I'm nearing my multi checkride. The Duchess I've been flying
has one of it's undervoltage alternator lights stuck so that's it's
always illuminated. It's been this way for a few months and I'm not
sure it will be fixed in time for my checkride. The day VFR list in
the FARs don't require it, but the Duchess POH equipment list claims
it's required. (not a real MEL, but the POH original equipment list)
The FARs also state 91.213d that if the PIC or a certified mechanic
feel the inop equipment "does not constitute a hazard to the
aircraft." ...
Anyway, with two alternators, two loadmeaters and the other 3
remaining warning light working, I personally feel it's not a hazard
doing a VFR checkride.
But, was wondering if the 91.213b statement will allow me to get
though the checkride legally? If it's placarded inop, but obviously
not deactivated because it's illuminated is that enough?
