LED Position Strobes

Post by 8209 »

So are there LED strobes available to replace your regular position light bulbs legally? If there are would you be able to eliminate your original inop beacon at that point?

I have no answer but another question, but reading 91.205, it seems that for vfr day, I could install non-tso led position and strobes and be legal, true? I understand non-tso lights would NOT be legal for vfr night or ifr. Advantage is of course, cost. Adding strobes to current position lights would be a safety improvement I think.

Read Chapter 4 of AC43.13-2B. I don't think the word (TLA?) TSO appears anywhere.
