Greg,

your list is missing something important: autopilots. Here in Germany,
single-pilot IFR is only allowed with a two-axis autopilot. Although
that might be considered over-regulation, the basic underlying
assumption makes sense.

Good point -
And the ommission was indeed my own, and not the author cited.
He did stress the use of an autopilot - at least in busy areas. He seems
to feel it's your call in non-congested areas, but in any busy
environment you are asking for overload to fly SP-IFR without it.
