Almost all my IMC flying here in the Northeastern US
is single-pilot with no autopilot.

Well, each picks his/her own level of risk exposure. While I have come
to truly hate the overregulation of GA in Europe, this is one of the
few rules that makes at least a little sense to me. It is still
overregulation, though.

I wonder if the difference in regulation makes a noticeable difference in
safety. The Nall Report is a good summary of the accident and fatality
statistics for GA in the US. Do you know of a comparable summary for Europe?
