CS 25.1303 Flight and navigation instruments

ED Decision 2018/005/R

(a)     The following flight and navigation instruments must be installed so that the instruments are visible from each pilot station:

(1)     A free-air temperature indicator or an air-temperature indicator which provides indications that are convertible to free-air temperature.

(2)     A clock displaying hours, minutes, and seconds with a sweep-second pointer or digital presentation.

(3)     A magnetic direction indicator.

(b)     The following flight and navigation instruments must be installed at each pilot station:

(1)     An airspeed indicator. If airspeed limitations vary with altitude, the indicator must have a maximum allowable airspeed indicator showing the variation of VMO with altitude.

(2)     An altimeter (sensitive).

(3)     A rate-of-climb indicator (vertical speed).

(4)     A gyroscopic rate of turn indicator combined with an integral slip-skid indicator (turn-and-bank indicator) except that only a slipskid indicator is required on aeroplanes with a third attitude instrument system usable through flight attitudes of 360o of pitch and roll, which is powered from a source independent of the electrical generating system and continues reliable operation for a minimum of 30 minutes after total failure of the electrical generating system, and is installed in accordance with CS 25.1321(a).

(5)     A bank and pitch indicator (gyroscopically stabilised). (See AMC 25.1303(b)(5).)

(6)     A direction indicator (gyroscopically stabilised, magnetic or non-magnetic).

(c)      The following flight and navigation instruments are required as prescribed in this paragraph:

(1)     A speed warning device which must give effective aural warning (differing distinctively from aural warnings used for other purposes) to the pilots whenever the speed exceeds VMO plus 11.1 km/h (6 knots) or MMO + 0·01. The upper limit of the production tolerance for the warning device may not exceed the prescribed warning speed. (See AMC 25.1303(c)(1).)

(2)     A mach meter is required at each pilot station for aeroplanes with compressibility limitations not otherwise indicated to the pilot by the airspeed indicating system required under sub-paragraph (b)(1) of this paragraph.
