Ladies & Gentlemen: Happy Fourth!

Is that "a lot more"? Is it within the realms of the possible? You decide.

For the average USA pilot, yes.
Thanks for responding, it truely puts things in perspective for us on
this side of the pond.
One more question: What type of flying in Europe requires an instrument
rating?

John,

What type of flying in Europe requires an instrument
rating?


Uhm, flying in IMC? ;-)

Not sure what you're getting at. Please explain.

Are there/is there airspace where, although VFR, require one to have an
instrument rating to fly in it? (excluding airspace above FL180).

John,

Oh, ok. Varies from country to country. In some, Class A starts at FL100.
Few have Class A around major airports. But generally, no, you can get
where you want to go. Next year, I'm planning a big Baltic tour, going
from Germany through Poland and Kaliningrade/Russia to Latvia, Letvia (?)
and Lithuania. The across the Baltic to Sweden and back via Denmark. Can
be done VFR, no problem (apart from weather).
