: technological level than in the USA; the pilot magazines also largely
: ignore the IFR market. And IFR activity is even lower elsewhere in
: Europe.

Interesting. Perhaps some Canadians reading can pipe in on this idea. This
past summer while flying through Canada to Alaska, it certainly seemed like IFR was
the vast minority. I'm sure some of it was that I was in the sticks for a lot of the
time, but even in the relatively populated plains provinces, one didn't hear much
about IFR traffic (or traffic at all for that matter). Perhaps the US just has more
infrastructure so IFR is easier to do casually for PP?

Just a thought... not harping on anyone's turf...
