I'm confused about these handhelds. I'm shortly about to get my Druine Turbulent flying, and taking it to the continent is amongst my plans. It has two magnetos but no other electrical system at present.
As far as I can gather the manufacturers still need to submit documentation to the CAA to show that they conform to the standard, and it's still not permissible to wire them up to an external antenna?
There is no mention of the Icom A6/A24 radios on the CAA list of approved equipment, though I understand from the Trainsair website that they are approved.
From what I've heard, the Yaesu radios may be somewhat better, but I haven't seen any statement about whether or not they are approved.
None of them are approved outside of the UK. So what do French microlighters use? (as an example). The links I've found to the EASA approval page are all broken.
