So - given a Skyview-equipped RV12 (with lights and autopilot) what needs to be added for light IFR?
Is the need:
VOR
Localizer
Glideslope
Marker Beacon (?)
WAAS GPS
Obviously a used Garmin 430 with additional nav and com antenna would do it. Any cheaper alternatives?
Heating the standard pitot is, I assume, impossible. If a heated pitot is desired, a wing pitot would be needed and that would be a real stress on the power budget.
It's been a decade since I flew IFR. So, am I missing anything or mentioning anything that is obsolete?
