Interesting stuff there Genghis.....

It would also be interesting to know if there are any committees or groups currently looking or intending to look at this.
The bottom line is that I'm intent on going touring and whilst VFR would be adequate, I would prefer to file airways and get to where I'm going with less hassle. Now I KNOW that there are many folks who tour VFR and thats fine its just that IFR/airways would be my personal preference.

The whole question of IFR permit aircraft will ultimately be the deciding factor whether I build a (new, fast) RV or buy an (old, slow) certified IFR aircraft. Now I reckon that it will be approx 18months-2 years before I would start an RV build so if I hear any murmourings of IFR certification for homebuilts then I would happily build the RV, if not then it looks like a C of A aircraft for me.

Any further info would be really appreciated guys.
