good one
Hi Paul, I am considering to buy a Czech Sport Cruiser. I am not sure if the plane can be used for IFR if proper instruments are installed. Where I can verify this? Any FAR?
I will really appreciate your help.
Victor,
This is a great question asked by many. The FAR is 91.327 where the FAA puts the responsibility on the manufacturer. Simply, to legally fly the aircraft IFR, the Pilots Operating Handbook (POH) which is the Aircraft Operating Instructions (AOI) for S-LSA must allow it. Simply get the POH/AOI for the specific aircraft you are considering, and see if is allowed. This is the verification.
