So I am afraid you could not tell the problem solved until you have done about 10 flights/10 hours. Please let us know the results.

During my last flight I was told that my radio was reading 2 because of interferance. I could hear the airfield perfectly as usual. I have been flying it now for 17 years without such a problem. Any ideas please.

From: "Roland" Hi Richard, I can also recommend the Dittel KRT 2, which replaced my Microair and does a good job. It is also an extraordinary lightweight. Regarding IFR in a permit aircraft: EASA has nothing to do with that as far as I know, because the permit aircraft fly under national law. There exist general entry permissions e. g. for Germany (AIP GEN 1-17), but those are limited to Day/VFR only. I'm afraid it's not that easy, at least when it comes to flying abroad.

Roland, We have been repeatedly told that EASA or some other bit of the European aviation set up is moving to harmonise all European regulations and that one effect of this is likely to be allowing Permit aircraft to fly IMC if suitably equipped and pilot qualified.

From: "Roland" David, that would be great, since I'm planning to acquire the EIR soon. What EASA has told me is, that you can use the EIR in a Permit aircraft, if the appropriate national authority allows it. If my memory serves e. g. Sweden allows Experimental aircraft already to be operated under IFR. Those aircraft are cleared for entrance into german airspace but with the limitation "VFR/day only". On the other hand, at least the national authority has to clear the Permit aircraft for IFR, because the EASA is - at least currently - not in charge of that (like this is - lucky us - not the case with all maintenance issues concerning Permit aircraft). Let's see (and cross our fingers) how far European harmonization goes, maybe we don't even need a special approval to cross Belgium airspace in the future...

I am afraid that Roland is closer to the mark David. The UK CAA is slowly moving towards granting an exemption for certain aircraft (on an individual basis) to be permitted to operate in night or IFR on a UK Permit to Fly. Note this is an exemption, not a blanket change of regulation. This makes use of that exemption outside the UK problematical. (not impossible, just difficult!) The EU is focussed on harmonising the Rules of the Air (SERA). Don't hold your breath!

For goodness sake, lets not let the Eurocrats loose on harmonization of the regulations for experimental aircraft. All of our freedom will be lost and we will all be back in the workshop building bookshelves to keep the bureaucratic B-S in a safe place. Just look what they have done to licensing and maintenance of certified light aircraft.

From: "ploucandco" I operate an N registered Europa XS in Europe and already have received overfly permissions for many European countries over the years: GE, BE, DK, SE, PL, BG, RO, UA... and never ever got a restriction on VFR day. To be sure, I just reread my current (for 2014) German permission and it even states: 7. The aircraft must be equiped with a VHF receiver / transmitter (two VHF receivers / transmitters in case of IFR operations) covering at least the required frequency range of 118.000 to 136.975Mhz, with a frequency separation of 25 Khz (8.33 Khz if aircraft operated above FL245). I intend to fly IFR in Europe (got my IR ticket last year) with my Europa after installing an additional 8.33Khz radio, a DME and a heater!

From: "ploucandco" At the same time, I just found this document: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1407/20120427GenericConcession1No6.pdf So the UK is limiting to VFR/day non certified planes registered abroad. A bit strange for a country that promotes the IMC rating and where you can even train for this rating in your own G registered Europa.
