If you were about to go on an IFR flight, and for some unknown,

DG (i have a compass, and a GPS with HSI yoke mounted). Airspeed would be my next option. Again, GPS/DME Groundspeed, plus pitch/power.

I'm going on a flight with a six-pack. My instrument of choice is a bottle
opener. (Sorry - I couldn't resist) "Chris W" wrote in message news:Ftx0f.851$sE3.515@lakeread07...

If, before an IFR flight, you had to remove one of the instruments in the image linked below, which one would it be? http://www.thewishzone.com/aviation/...nstruments.jpg Other than a compass, and navaid radios you have no other device to prevent you from impacting the ground unexpectedly. To be even more clear, you don't have a GPS! -- Chris W Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com

The AI. In reading the FAA Instrument Flying Handbook, it says you can
derive all of the necessary flight information from the other 5 instruments. Chris G. Chris W wrote: Brad Zeigler wrote: Hobbs meter. I guess I need to be more specific.

But you can get all of the info provided by the TC or the DG from a single instrument, and you can get all the info provided by the VSI from two. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land.
