Peter,
Thanks for the details.
I can't see why Engineering approval is required - perhaps your Inspector is
confusing it with requirements when there are no old-style instruments? You
have the required minimum instrumentation without the Dynon (you dont
mention a compass, but I assume you have that) for day VFR.
If I were you, I'd call Engineering and ask them directly - and I'd be
grateful if you could inform me of the outcome. If unnecessary impositions
are being made on us by PFA Engineering, I'm very happy to take that case up
in EC and NC.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Sorry, should have been clearer in stating my intentions - the AC currently
has an ASI, VSI, Alt and turn coordinator.
It has no AH or DI. I can either fit a vacuum kit and steam instruments -
lots of weight and old fashioned or, save up for ever and buy electric
instruments or put a Dynon in - light, modern and not essential to flight
safety so if it does go U/S, not a safety issue.
I'm hoping its not going to be an issue - just wanted to see what people
though and of course if anyone has actually got one flying on a permit AC in
the UK.
