When I applied for an airworthiness inspection and certificate three years ago, I stated on the application that the aircraft was going to be operated VFR and both day and night. As a result the FAA Washington FSDO required me to install a mechanical ASI and a mechanical wet compass. That is in addition to the Dynon and all the other non-TSO electronic instruments. The fuel gauges and fuel pressure are aftermarket truck units. None of my instruments are TSO certified. Also as a result for night VFR operation I had to install either a rotating red flashing beacon or a strobe system and position navigation lights that all met the TSO functionality, but did not have to be TSO certified. I chose the Whelan non-TSO integrated strobe system. Yes, the FSDO inspector looked for and checked off all those items on his inspection check list form.
