Adding IFR Plane Certification To Planes Without It
Michael Adams wrote:
What does the FAA say about adding IFR certification to planes which do not have it? Can IFR be added to any plane, or does it have to have some sort of "pre-cerfication" by the manufacturer for make and model? This question came up, because I have seen IFR added to a few aerobatic models, presumably for "emergency IFR". I know for helicopters, you can't add IFR unless it meets certain stability requirements. I wasn't sure about planes. "adding IFR certification"? please explain... rats...my copy of the FAR is at the hangar. but if I remember correctly, the requirements include static/pitot check every 24 months mode c transponder communication equipment adequate to talk with ATC (radio that has .x25) navigation equipment as appropriate (can't remember the exact minimum but I think it's 1 VOR receiver and indicator...is ILS required? Possibly an ADF/DME in addition...) |
