Can a GPS with compass, heading & groundspeed capability be used legally in lieu of a separate compass and airspeed instruments on an experimental homebuilt airplane? Or at least in lieu of the separate compass? Yes to all, *if* the inspector signs it off. Whether or not it's a smart thing to do will probably be the subject of some debate. I vote no, mostly because I think you ought to have at least *one* onboard nav gadget that will keep working when you lose electrical power. Groundspeed is also practically useless in terms of flight safety. Dave 'wind in your hair' Hyde |
