Re: light sport IFR
" Flying VFR most often means no flight following is provided, heck, most of the time they won't even acknowledge you at all flying VFR outside controlled airspace."
I'm curious where you fly that you are denied flight following. I request and receive flight following from Chicago and Milwaukee, and generally throughout the Midwest. I believe that it helps that I have my instrument rating and use good radio technique. I often hear requests denied to pilots who do not know how to talk to ATC.
Fly safely and often

Re: light sport IFR
For the most part, is IFR mostly an option for E-LSAs and E-AB? It doesn't seem like many manufacturers certify it for IFR except for the handful of models mentioned previously. I saw a Tecnam Sierra on sale with an IFR setup, but I'm guessing that's E-LSA.

Assuming you're meaning IFR in IMC -- then you are correct.IFlyRC wrote:For the most part, is IFR mostly an option for E-LSAs and E-AB?
