Matt Ricciardi Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 AOPA just published a new YouTube video demonstrating an RNAV (GPS) approach to minimums in an RV-4. The video makes the point that modern avionics allow light experimental airplanes to fly safely in instrument conditions, with proper pilot training, outside of icing conditions, etc. As I understand, light airplanes flying IFR is far more common in the United States than in Europe, so flying IFR in a VL3 is still fairly new. Of course, we still need to be smart about it. I'll start climbing and descending through some cloud layers en route, but I won't be shooting approaches to minimums like in this video right out of the gate.
