But then again, if the model shows success and their is a push to allow IFR flight in light sport aircraft then I'm sure Cessna and the AOPA will flex their lobbying muscles and get it done.
Cessna claims that their intent for the SC is as an initial trainer replacement for the 152. They went on to mention that the do not "intend" to certify it for IFR. They do not wish to raid sales from their 172 and 182 line. Pressure from FBO's I feel will make them change their minds.
