ergo it can be done under the proper circumstances
Sailor, Thanks for that BUT I suggest you check more closely

The actual question asked was....................

Has anyone here actually gone IMC in an R22
R22 IFR training is ONLY legally allowed to be done VMC with screens (or foggles) and the Bristows AB206 IFR trainer has a similar VMC restriction.

Ergo, anybody flying IMC in an R22 regardless of being IFR trained or not is doing so illegally as the R22 is not approved for IMC flight in JAA land.

Nice to see the efforts of GS and MG will not be wasted with SO much misunderstanding amongst pilots

An article, from about two years ago, summed up IMC flight in an R22 very accurately - Do it, AND die
