You can do your training / flight test for your IMC in a permit.
I would prefer to be in court for doing IFR in a permit plane than dead :-)
Yes I know you should never get in that situation but......,
And fingers crossed IFR in a permit is on the horizon. Well within my lifetime
maybe.

and ILS. Fun to play with but not much practical use until EASA allow IFR in
permit aircraft or all your GPSs pack up and you get caught in IFR way from
anywhere
(unlikely unless you plan to fly to Oz - when it has happened to nearly
all going through the tropical zone). Mine was an SL30, whose direct Garmin
replacement
turns out to be around 1cm fatter. This led me to totally redesigning
and rewiring most of my panel, an ongoing process that has taken longer than
the original panel fit! With wisdom of hindsight it would probably have been
smarter to keep the SL30 for Nav & back up com and use a Trig for standard com.
I have incidentally got a spare SL30 in perfect working order that I would
be happy to part with to a good home for a modest donation to my favourite
charity.

so far. Not had it long so no idea of long term reliability. What I
will say is that Trig, being UK based (Edinburgh,) are extremely helpful with
any queries you may have during installation and initial setting up. They speak
a kind of English which I can understand and on one occasion even loaned me
a replacement unit as aid to diagnosis of an interference problem. In the end
that turned out to be generated by a Dynon D1, so nothing to do with the radio.

difficult to read in sunlight.

No personal recommendation as I am replacing an SL 30 regards, David, GXSDJ
