IFR Certification 1947 C140

Post by texan »

Hello!

Section II Page 7 of the "Operation Manual for Cessna 120/140" states that my Cessna 140 is certified for Instrument (night) - Model 140, equipped with two-way radio, sensitive altimeter, turn and bank indicator, rate of climb indicator and clock with sweep second hand.

Two questions:
1. What about Instrument (day)?

2. Does my C140 need to adhere to the equipment requirements outlined in the 14 CFR 91.205? Or is my aircraft technically IFR certified based on the operation manual.

Clarification would be much appreciated.

That was true in 1946. Not so today. The requirements for instrument flight, day or night, are found in Part 91.205 There is no distinction between IFR day or night.

Ah, I see you already found that. No, no grandfather clause. You're operating under part 91; you have to abide by those rules.

Curious about that manual, it was written in 1979? I assume to give you something as there isn’t a POH for our airplanes that I’m aware of?
