Oh boy. Price just went up. I'm sure you can install them -I don't have alternative Static line or heated pitot
they were almost certainly optional equipment when new -
but it will add to the price.

What are your overall objectives? Why do you want an IFR rating? What do you plan to do with it?
You do realize that about half the required instrument time can be conducted in the flight school's sim right?cap41 wrote: My thoughts were if its going to cost him/us 7-8K in rentals.
Seeing as I am still not sure if you plan on actually making a 150 fully IFR certified or just putting some additional instruments in a 150 and keeping it VFR, make sure that, whatever you do, you first find the instructor that is going to teach you son and ask him if he is willing to do it in that 150 that you are building.I thought maybe I would retro fit my 150 with an IFR equipment allowing him to do his training on our 150. Also would allow him more IFR practice and to stay current.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I guess the question boils down to is... are you planning on making this thing actually IFR certified or is this just going to be a VFR C150 with a few additional instruments?I figured If I spent 8-10k in upgrades I would increase the value of the plane at least 4-5k. At the end of the day I should be ahead of the game.
A bit of a conflict of interest on that opinion, wouldn't you say?It's been my experience that US field approvals are generally done poorly. They often fail to meet design and certification standards since there is no engineering oversight required.
Sure you can. More FUD being spread around here. You don'tIf you plan to go to an airport with only an NDB approach,
you can't do it with either setup
So if your alternate has a (eg) VOR approach, you're golden(j) sufficient radio navigation equipment to permit the pilot, in the event of the failure at any stage of the flight of any item of that equipment, including any associated flight instrument display,
(i) to proceed to the destination aerodrome or proceed to another aerodrome that is suitable for landing,
As far as dual VOR's go ... if they come off the same attennaNever ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence
