Looks like a gaggle willfly through/assemble in Waynesville, OH.There are two piets in Lousiville that are thinking about it, and Jeff Faithwould like to if everything works out for him.There's yet another by Waynesville, OH who is considering it if his scheduleallows.Gradiner is coming through from Atlanta and Jeff B MIGHT tag along with him.Those are the guys I"ve spoken with.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Night Flying in a Piet

I searched the forum and could not find any thoughts on this. Does anyone havelights on their Piet for Night Flying? If so - are their rules about puttinglights on an experimental aircraft?--------Jim McWhorterN687MB (New Owner)Culpeper, VA KCJRRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Jim,Your airplane has a set of Operating Limitations. They should be carried in theairplane. Find these and read them. They will tell you exactly what you cando and what FAR's apply to your plane. The Operating Limitations are the bibleand Lifeblood of your airplane. They all read a little different, dependingon who wrote them. The correct verbiage you put in the logbook for your conditioninspections is also there. You must carry the Operating Limitations in the aircraft to be legal.Hope this helps you.--------Scott LiefeldFlying N11MS since March 1972Steel TubeC-85-12Wire WheelsBrodhead in 1996Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Night Flying in a Piet

Off the top of my head, I think red/green/white position lights and a beacon/strobeare the exterior ones required. There's a synapse firing that says a landinglight is not and that there are one or two additional instruments (likemaybe a turn/bank) that are. More to follow when I remember where to find thereal data.Then there's the question of wisdom. If you get caught out and are returning justaround civil twilight, that's one thing. Dead of the night flying into anunfamiliar airfield is not for the inexperienced or faint of heart, especiallyin a barely VFR equipped aircraft.

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Night Flying in a Piet UNCLASSIFIEDThe rules basically say you have to have lights. A red port (left), green starboard(right) and white tail position lights. An anti collision light (Strobe orrotating beacons, top and/or Bottom) and you would need a landing/Taxi light.Beyond that there is little expectation. You could put in a conventional electrical type system But for Experimental thereis no requirement for them to be driven by the engine electrical system, youcould even consider "add on" lights, IE small battery powered independent (nowires) positon and anticollision lights that you turn on and off before andafter the flight. IE no cockpit switch. Then a good "spotlight" that will serveas a landing/taxi light.Don't read in more to what the FAA requres.

Using this reference (the best I can find so far...)http://www.eaa.org/sportaviationmag/201 ... ments.pdfI think all you need is position lights, anti collision lights, adequate electricityand spare fuses (?).Found it curious that a lot of what I thought were required instruments (airspeed,fuel, engine... etc) are NOT listed as required for day vfr, but are for nightvfr. Is this because of the experimental status?Anyway, also seems odd nothing is mentioned about cockpit lighting, so you cansee the required instruments...Can't find anything about a landing light, most sources seem to indicate this isneeded only for commercially used aircraft.>From a common sense standpoint, another necessity is a WELL lit field, and ifnecessary, a way to activate the lights there (two way radio perhaps). Night flying is GREAT! However, it's also a lot more varsity than intuitivelyobvious. The loss of peripheral vision is a HUGE deal and requires a lot of thought,training, whatever. It's a lot like really marginal VFR, very insidious.The toughest flying I've ever done (other than a few select nights at theboat) was in the Persian gulf during the summer. PERFECTLY legal VFR, but ABSOLUTELYno horizon. It was plainly an instrument only affair and I logged itthat way. Pretty sure it was conditions like those that led to JFK Jr's death.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Most jurisdictions (Canada, Europe and I think the USA) require anartificial horizon at night under the relevant operation rules.All night operations are not the same.

On the other hand I have run my Chief on skies on a moon lightnight over snow covered fields with "full" visibility as if it were day orjust dusk.
