However there are plenty of skim readers on here who grab at the one liner they want to see and it goes on from there.
Re your post above : if the particular class of airspace requires TSO, LA1 etc kit then it’s an additional requirement to LAA approval. The LAA can’t magic TSO-146C approval onto any old bit of kit just ‘cos you want it to be so.
Glad I come over as a stickler for the rules. LOL Love to stretch them to the limit. But they do have to be observed. Flying in France one day the the controller asked me to confirm I was VMC, I duly confirmed that. He then asked a local pilot near by if he was visual with me. I think everyone, including the controller, was a bit surprised he could spot me. But I would never try to influence anyone to ignore the rules.
I don't want to magic any approvals, neither do the LAA as I understand it. One of the problems of flying some certified aircraft is the instrument fit. For instance Cirrus don't have a DME. That make many ILS or RNAV approaches a problem.
minds are like parachutes, they work best when open.
