Look at single engine helicopters. Almost none of these are certified for IFR, And I do know the difference between VMC, IMC, VFR, IFR.
Presumably, in the UK, you can fly IFR in a microlight! Just fly quadrantals above the transition altitude and keep 1,000' vertically from any obstruction within 5NM. How can any aircraft need to be certified for that?
