Single engine IFR certified helicopter

Is it really IFR certified? Certified by whom?

The title "first" is a bit inaccurate. It's the only CURRENT offering, but there have certainly been other singles that have met IFR requirements.
How quickly we forget.

Forty years ago, Vought Aircraft and Sperry collaborated to produce the SA-341 IFR Gazelle. This first IFR-certified single-engine helicopter was a breakthrough.

Mike....that was a Johnny Come Lately as well.
Go back further and you will see there ws a piston engine IFR helicopter that set many records and gained IFR Certification.
The Cessna CH-1 Skyhook was certified for IFR flight by the FAA

No doubt your memory and expertise exceeds mine. The claim "first" is usually dubious.

The TH-119 is the only single-engine helicopter in decades to meet current IFR requirements, ...

Ok sorry, my mistake. It's not the first, I know. It's the only IFR single available today.
Well this is a great revolution I guess, hope other models like H125 and Bell 407 will follow this route..

the 206 was certified IFR by the manufacturer. I flew an L3 that was IFR configured and certified. Air Methods operated them for years. These days if they still have the IFR kit, they get bought up and stripped out and the weight savings is probably 80 lbs or more.

I check the price in Vantage Aviation. Its 23.964 + VAT. So around 28,800 pounds + Longranger type rating. I assume that TR its around 6,000 it giver us 35,000 pounds. For anoyher 6,000 I can get ME IR on AS355 in Norway. Now the question is whether it is worth it? Some advice?
Yes it has but only the 119 achieved IFR cert without any exemptions. I believe the 407 had to apply for two exemptions to get the IFR certification. The Koala complied with all requirements of the certification.
