may be.
Note   The effect of subsection (2) is that for a VFR flight by night over land or water that is conducted by a single pilot, a relevant rotorcraft must be fitted with an automatic pilot system or an automatic stabilisation system in accordance with subsection 26.11 (2); and that for an IFR flight, a relevant rotorcraft must be fitted with an approved GNSS in accordance with subsection 26.12 (1), and an automatic pilot system or an automatic stabilisation system in accordance with subsection 26.12 (2).

26.16 Application — VFR and IFR flight requirements do not apply to certain registered aircraft
        Divisions 26.3 and 26.4 do not apply to a registered aircraft if it is fitted with equipment that the type certificating authority of a recognised country determines will achieve, for the intended operation of the aircraft, a level of safety equivalent to that which would be achieved if Division 26.3 or 26.4 (as the case requires) applied.

26.17 Electronic flight information systems
       (1) This section applies to an aircraft:
(a) to which section 26.13, 26.14 or 26.15 applies; and
(b) which is fitted with 1 of the following systems:
           (i) an electronic flight information system (an EFIS);
           (ii) an electronic display indicator;
           (iii) another system for electronically displaying flight information.
       (2) The system must be provided with:
(a) a battery-powered back-up; or
(b) a source of power independent of the aircraft's primary electrical system.
       (3) The battery-powered back-up must:
(a) be fully charged before the flight begins; and
(b) have sufficient capacity to power the EFIS panel or other display for at least 60 minutes.

Division 26.6 Operational equipment

26.18 Radiocommunication systems
       (1) Subject to subsection (2), an aircraft for a flight, in any class of airspace, whether controlled or uncontrolled, must be fitted with radiocommunication systems capable of:
(a) collectively communicating on all frequencies necessary to meet the reporting, broadcast and listening watch requirements under regulations 91.630, 91.635, 91.640 and 91.675, from any point on the route of the flight, including in the event of any diversions; and
(b) 2-way voice communications; and
(c) communicating on the aeronautical emergency frequency 121.5 MHz.
Note 1   Certain light sport aircraft and experimental aircraft do not have to comply with the requirement for this equipment to be approved under Part 21 of CASR: see subsection 26.02 (5).
Note 2   Regulation 91.400 places certain requirements on aircraft without an operative radio at certain non-controlled aerodromes.
       (2) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), an aircraft for a flight under the VFR by day in Class G airspace at or below 5 000 ft AMSL (a relevant aircraft) is not required to comply with subsection (1).
       (3)  Subsection (2) does not apply if
