I've read something on this, but can't remember where I saw it. Is it true that after January 2015, an owner of a normal category airplane can put non TSO'd or PMA'd parts on legally? Seems like I read it would be legal as long as the aircraft wasn't used commercially, which in the case of a single means part 135 to me. If the aircraft was to return to commercial service, the unapproved parts would have to come off.

My interest in this is for ventilation mods and possible future IFR avionics that are only available for homebuilts now.

Anyone familiar with this, or am I experiencing early signs of dementia?
