IR Spec homebuilts

with the exception of ADF, I've seen a number of homebuilt (kit) a/c recently that could be said to be IR capable.

One was a Europa 914S tri-gear that even had an autopilot, the other was some eastern eurpean fantastic plastic. I'm sure there are some RVs etc too.

I thought the LAA (nee PFA) was trying to persuade the CAA to aaccept IMC rated pilots to fly these types (subject to approaval of the installlation) in the clag.

Whilst peering into one cockpit at a show this year an old chap behind me exclaimed "B8gg5r me! that's got more kit than my 737". He flew a 737-200 in Africa

It is clear that our enviable safety record across a wide spectrum of aviation is worth keeping and the cost barriers to progress for rank and file pilots must be challenged.

M-UTLY ? (snigger)
