Required equipment for a Restricted Category aircraft

Asked by: 822 views FAA Regulations

I fly a PA-25 towing gliders; the aircraft has a Restricted Category registration. 

Neither the POH nor the TCDS lists required equipment. Are items such as a tachometer and/or airspeed indicator required for flight?

Thanks!

    The TCDS has limitations on the prop speed and airspeed limits. How can you comply with them without those two instruments?

    Vne Never exceed 136 mph (118 knots)
    Vno Maximum structural cruising 108 mph ( 94 knots)
    Vp Maneuvering 107.5 mph ( 93 knots)
    Vfe Flaps Extended 95 mph ( 82 knots)

    Engine limits For all operations, 2575 r.p.m. (235 hp)
