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...
