Ok, fellow FAR-readers. I am looking for requirements in the FARs (or, if you prefer, 14 CFR) that discusses requirements for instrument lighting for NVFR.
FAR 91.205 lists the instruments that are required under NVFR operations (e.g., AS, ALT, compass, tach, oil T&P, fuel gauges). Amazingly enough, it doesn't discuss requirements for instrument lighting.
A reasonable interpretation would be that the instruments would have to be lit, whether internally or externally. But is lighting required for each individual gauge? Yes, it's smart to have each gauge lit with light rings, internal lighting or post lights, but is it required?
