I am having fun trying to schedule my IFR checkride. I have an Advanced 3500 with a 430W, Trutrak ADI and VSGV, backup airspeed and altimeter. The DPE that I am trying to work with is checking with local FSDO to see how he will test me on the "no gyro" approach. They are telling him, first of all, that the Advanced system is not certified for IFR flight, therefore, the aircraft is not IFR capable. I know that there are plenty of you out there that are flying IFR with the system (or other experimental EFIS systems); is there a piece of paper (other than the requisite 24-month pito/static and transponder system test) that is available for the experimental EFIS systems that allow you to fly IFR? If not, where in the regulations can I point the FSDO folks to for their education?
Another question for those who performed their IFR checkride with and EFIS; how did your DPE have you perform the "no-gyro" or failed system approach.
