There is a agreement of most = european countries called ECAC to make cross country flights = easy.

You might need special permission for certain countries = which is easy to get. They want to see the insurance, permit to fly and = the pilot licence, and maybe a little fee.

In = Austria IFR for experimentals is possible!! A certified avionic shop has = to do the installation and papers!

There are = many Lancairs around in Europe!

There is a european Fly Inn in = Marmande (LFDM) from 6th to 9th of june 2014 (flyinmarmande@gmail.com)
