What equipment is not required for daytime VFR flying in the Schweizer 300c?

For daytime Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flying, it's essential to operate the aircraft with the necessary equipment, but not all equipment required for nighttime operations is mandatory during the day. In the case of the Schweizer 300C, a landing light is not a requirement for daytime VFR operations. While landing lights can enhance visibility during landing and may be necessary for specific types of operations, such as flying at night or in poor weather, they are not mandated for daytime flight.

On the other hand, a magnetic compass, oil temperature gauge, and altimeter are vital instruments for navigation and monitoring the aircraft's performance. The magnetic compass is necessary for orientation and helping pilots maintain their course. The oil temperature gauge is critical for ensuring the engine operates within safe temperature limits, and the altimeter is essential for maintaining altitude awareness and managing airspace.
