Oh, and with regard to some of the answers in the thread, it might be
of interest that here in Germany, single-pilot IFR flying is only
allowed in an airplane with an operating two-axis autopilot.

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

Well, *everyone* knows that American pilots are superior to German pilots,
so that covers that! g
