I tried the search function but was unsuccessful in finding an answer... So here goes. First post, first question!
I have a Dynon D10A feeding my Garmin 327 transponder. I have heard recently that this configuration is not legal in Canada as the encoder portion is not TSO'd.
Some owners are having trouble getting their pitot/static/transponder systems certified by their local shops because the shops point to the CAR that requires that encoders be TSO'd.
Other owners are not having an issue, the shops are recognizing that these are amateur-built aircraft and believe that the TSO requirement does not apply. Remember, we're talking Canada here, not in the US. I'm aware that in the US this has been hashed to pieces and the TSO requirement does not apply there.
Does anyone have experience with this in Canada? Do I have to add unnecessary weight (a separate encoder) to my plane to meet the regs?
Any help appreciated...
