In addition gliders come under the aegis of EASA (in the EU) which
means that new instruments have to be certified, though whatever was
fitted when the glider was transitioned in was accepted.


As I understand it, only the required instruments need to be
certified: ASI, altimeter and, in motor gliders only, compass.
Otherwise you can fly with what you like, just as power pilots have
been flying for years with non-certified GPS receivers, and nobody
needs a certified wris****ch.
