Disclaimer:
This question is in the context of a CFI checkride that I am hoping to take in next few days. As I have sometime in RVs and other experimental, I do expect to see oral questions pertinent to experimentals and I am attempting to be as prepared as possible.
Also, let me first state that I am aware of 14 CFR 91.205 and the lists of equipments mentioned there. But I am really curious about equipment required in experimentals (such as RVs) for ****Day VFR**** only.
The confusion I am facing follows from FAA Order 8130.2 which gives guidance for issuing of a special airworthiness certificate for experimentals. There
are no minimum equiment requirements specified for VFR, day only
aircraft. For IFR or night, it says that you must comply with the equipment requirements of 91.205.
Further, I came across a Kitplanes article in June, 2006 issue of Kitplanes that is about experimental aircraft and instruments. The article specifically stated "Not Required" for all the instruments. According to the article only the ELT (for 2 place) and Transponder (for certain airspace) might be required.
So am I correct in stating that NONE of the instruments from 91.205 are required for **Day VFR** (except ELT and Transponder)?
This seems bizzare to me hence asking the knowledgable folks to guide me through this confusion. Again this is in the context of prepping myself for the oral portions of the CFI checkride.
Many thanks in advance!
