You can use whatever you want on a homebuilt. Day, VFR is pretty much up
to what the builder wants to install However, I would recommend against using GPS as a sole source for the uses you are envisioning. The heading information provided by GPS is track along the ground, not the magnetic heading that you are pointing. Your ground speed and airspeed are two separate and distinct animals. Your airplane will fly with respect to indicated airspeed... regardless of what the groundspeed reads. Winds aloft will cause differences between indicated airspeed and what the GPS groundspeed is. Dave Dick wrote: Can a GPS with compass, heading & groundspeed capability be used legally in lieu of a separate compass and airspeed instruments on an experimental homebuilt airplane? Or at least in lieu of the separate compass? Thanks |
