 Ron,
 When I received my Experimental Ops Specs during my certification phase they
 contained language that said that I had to make note in the IFR flight plan
 of the experimnental nature of the aircraft before flying IFR.  All of the
 equipment was installed during the inspection that I currently have now.  I
 have the flight manual supplement for the Garmin 430, all software it up to
 date.  Would this original certification have included the approval for IFR?
 
 Is there another approval process (I think so after reading your message)
 that I need to complete before flying IFR?
 
 Since you recently completed a request for the 182 mentioned below is it
 possible to provide a template for an approved application?
 
 Thanks,
