Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group IFR SLSA

I may be all wet on this, but the impression I get is that, since the FAA doesn't "certify" S-LSA airplanes like they do Part 23 airplanes (the manufacturers promise to adhere to ASTM standards as long as they don't get caught not doing so) there really is no such thing as an "IFR-certified" S-LSA in spite of what you might read in either the AMD or Evektor ads. The operative language seems to be that it can be considered manufacturer-approved for IFR operation as long as it is appropriately equipped and there are no POH prohibitions for operating it in IMC conditions. Or, I may be the classic case of the dangerous person with a little knowledge, but who generally has salad in his helmet. This, of course, is only meaningful if the person doing the flying is appropriately qualified and credentialed for the conditions involved. So there.

has this been talked about on here? I thought LSAs were only supposed to be flown in VFR so can they be IFR certified? I could read the regs but figured it quicker to get the answer here from someone that already knows. Thanks
