Hmmm, so maybe I AM missing something. I apologise. Does that mean you can go get an instrument rating in a single Squirrel (Not IFR rated)? It would have all the capability to fly approaches and holds etc. but no autopilot and no backup systems. It would be totally VFR flying, whilst simulating IFR.
