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.
