Under visual flight rules (VFR) during daytime, a pilot can operate with only basic gauges: an airspeed indicator, altimeter, compass, fuel gauges for each tank, and oil temperature, pressure, and engine RPM readings. The 91.205 minimum equipment rule is very rudimentary, and most aircraft today exceed these requirements.

However, when Gulfstream introduced its Honeywell-made Synthetic Vision System – Primary Flight Display to business aircraft in 2005, it was the real thing. The group concluded that 17 had been caused by darkness or instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions that deprived pilots of their outside visual references.
