A lack of time for research is the reason that I didn't reply to this...

From what I have read, an airplane must be certified for IFR, either from
the factory, or in the field. And it must have periodic inspections to
insure IFR certification. Again, this is just what I believe I have read.

But keep in mind that Light Sport Aircraft are not certificated in the same
manner as other aircraft. I doubt that there is even an IFR certification
available for a Light Sport Aircraft.


If a plane is IFR rated, a sprot pile it may fly it fine, just not use
most of the gauges and stuff,,,,,,

the sprot pile it is limited, not the plane,,,,

however there are weight limits, seating, etc,

so an IFR plane may weigh too much, have complex controls, retracts,
that would preclude the sprot pile it from flying it even under the
sprot rules,,,,,,,,,
