The story is that in the UK and most of Europe the all glass Cirrus
including the 22 is only suitable for VFR flights only.

Too bad. The reason, of course, is that Europe would rather remain in the
last century rather than open their markets to real competition.

They view laws against unfair trade practices as a weapon to suppress free
trade instead of a tool to encourage it.
