The FAA has published new draft guidance for public comment. The guidance is meant for instruments and indicators designed for small (Part 23 or CAR 3) aircraft. It is a policy statement that describes acceptable compliance methods for replacing vacuum-driven attitude instruments with electronically-driven replacement indicators. Electronically-driven attitude indicators include indicators that use electrical power to (1) excite an internal gyro, or (2) replace the operation of the gyro with microelectronics.
The policy notes that electronically-driven attitude indicators may replace the existing attitude indicators used in VFR or IFR airplanes.
Comments are due to the FAA by August 21, 2015.
