i have never heard of this requirement and nor do I know of any fuse that is accessible inflight in our Commanders.

Answer
You must carry one spare set of fuses, or three spare fuses of each kind. However, this requirement applies only to fuses that are accessible to the pilot in flight. (See 14 CFR 91.205(c)(6).)

This question and answer were provided by AOPA's Pilot Information Center. Got a question for our technical services staff? Contact AOPA.

Seems kind of out of context -what was the question.


Wouldn't matter much to us anyway since all critical systems are on breakers.

Question
Where can I find information about the number of fuses that must be carried on board an aircraft for night flying?

VFR Night Requirements
Requirements for VFR Night flight can be found in 91.205(c)

They include the above mentioned A TOMATO FLAMES plus FLAPS

F – fuses (one complete spare set)
L – landing light (only if you are flying for hire)
A – anti collision lights*
P – position lights
S – source of electricity (alternator, generator)

This part can get a bit confusing. First off just like above you only need it if your aircraft is equipped for it. For example if your airplane has circuit breakers there’s no need to have fuses.
