IFR is not a big issue in Europe for the private pilot. So expensive IFR

that the much hailed Cirrus cannot fly IFR in much of European airspace

in the UK its just a VFR machine.


That's due to assinine regulations put out by our "beloved" CAA. That's
why Cirrus airplanes in Britain are all on the N-register. Indeed, if I
was interested in buying an IFR plane, regardless of what it was (even
if it was a Diamond) I'd have it on the N register to avoid the stupid,
pointless CAA regulations that *decrease* safety, not increase it.


But even a Cirrus on the N register is not legit, no DME, no ADF, no f*****g
good.
