Which flight instrument systems and equipment are required on power driven aircraft for day VFR flight? A magnetic direction indicating system or magnetic compass and A. an airspeed indicator. B. an attitude indicator. C. an altimeter. D. a vertical speed indicator. E. a turn and bank indicator. F. a time piece. G. a heading indicator.
Why this is the answer
Per CARs 602.59 and 605.14, day-VFR power-driven aircraft need a compass plus an airspeed indicator (A), an altimeter (C) and a timepiece (F). Attitude, heading, VSI and turn-and-bank gyros are not required for day VFR.
