Quote: "Doubt that CASA will certify it SP IFR till the Italians do .... and thus far I understand it is Single Pilot VFR only with 2 pilots required for IFR (quite rightly too!)".
Spinwing.....my understanding, (I've seen the papers) is that the 139 has been approved SPIFR by EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority)....replaced JAA....CASA accepts certifications by EASA and FAA equally now. As there are no AW139's here yet CASA has not been able to give an Australian CofA. But there is no reason that when the first one lands here that CASA Airworthiness will not accept EASA certification for SPIFR!!
Lets wait till the first one lands here and see what happens.
