All perfectly reasonable answers....however i guess tcas could be made affordable in the near future and i hear there is already a very cheap latest tech autopilot already tries and tested ....but not certified due to cost.
Lastly, can you not fly ifr outside controlled airspace in an N reg on a faa ir?
Maybe there is no answer to this problem , that is why it has been the No1 killer for so many years. Maybe you could have a system where you are allowed to fly only up to say 20 -30 miles in cloud and then only with some sort of permission ? I guess it will stay as it is ...those that have the equipment and ability pop up and do it quietly and the rest take their chances or land. But you must admit it IS frustrating when you come across a line of low cloud , you KNOW you can fly at msa without ice problems and you KNOW the sun is shining 10 miles further on !!!!
