huh? What's the night IFR standard for a certified engine?
I couldn't remember it at the time of my post, but someone else did--part
33. And IIRC, it's part 35 for the prop.
Is there a particular part of Part 33 that is applicable to night IFR?
I searched for "IFR", "night", a "instrument" without finding any
specific certification standards for night IFR.
What engine certification standard would be compatible with Day VFR
and *not* also be compatible night IFR?
Rotax themselves made the engine in question unqualified for night by
stating that the engine was for Day VFR only.
