There have been a couple of posts highlighting the fact that the IFR equipment lists are specific to standard category aircraft. But realistically, does anyone have OLs that permit instrument flight without referencing 91.205(d)?

A 420w would also give you a second comm radio.
I currently have one for sale on that other big selling site....

The FARs, for EAB in IFR (assuming the usual op limits), are very generous. No mention of backups, dual power sources, or heated pitots. But that just means, just like many other choices, they?ve left it up to your judgement as to what is really needed for a reasonable level of safety. BTW, some EFIS boxes -Dynon and Garmin among them-require airspeed or gps data to reach an attitude solution. That may influence your heated/not heated pitot decision.

Well I just got back from the still useless North Dallas FSDO ( at least they’re consistent in being useless ). I got my replacement airworthiness certificate due to a registration number change and they didn’t include that I could fly if I have the equipment as per 91.205. He told me that he can’t change ops limits when replacing the aw certificate. Of course he showed me a highlighted piece of paper he printed but I showed him that had to do with replacements after a person losing his aw certificate and that wasn’t my case.
So he told me if I have everything needed for IFR flight then someone from their office has to come out to my plane and see it then they’ll add that to my op limitations. Anyone heard of this before ?

Are you saying your original Op Limits did not have the phrase ?VFR only unless equipped as per 91.205...?? If so they must be pretty old; and he?s right, there are separate hoops to jump thru to get them changed. But if they did have this phrase, and the new ones don?t, then the FSDO screwed up in changing them; call them back.

No, my original ops limits say that if equipped I can fly at night and IFR but he chose to not include that even though I clearly told him about it. Now I'm grounded from flying my plane at night too !
I'm telling you, this North Dallas FSDO needs adult supervision quickly !!!
I'm preparing an email right now with copies of everything to send to Washington, I'm done dealing with these inept employees.

Instead of pushing up, why not let someone in real authority push down? You're an EAA member, right? Call 'em up, tell 'em your problem. They'll contact FAA HQ, and HQ will 'educate' the FSDO.

Oh we're way past that. This has been going on for over 9 months. It's already in Washington, I just needed to update them on today's fiasco. Email has gone out. Regarding EAA and AOPA I think that's the next step, thanks for the suggestion !

Why not just give Mel Asbury a call, pay him a couple of bucks and let him handle it. He's the Guru for this kind of stuff.

Because we have an office of the FAA and they’re supposed to provide a service.
