I had a compass when I purchased my gyro (don't know if it was original when airworthiness was done) in trailering it home last yr the mount broke on it and therefore was not functional. I am needing a condition inspection done and am wondering if it is required equip on E-LSA aircraft when my ops limits specifically list "This aircraft is to be operated under VFR day only." I have FARs saying all civilian aircraft need it, but have found other places on the net saying that under day time VFR flights it is not required. I really don't want to put a heavy compass back on because I prefer to use my GPS when I venture into unfamiliar territory and saving 1-2lbs just seems like a good idea to me. If the answer is no I don't need it, can you point me towards the FARS saying this?
Thanks Mark
