REFLECTOR: IFR certified?

[Don Johnston]

In the December issue of Aviation Consumer, they did a review of the
Columbia 300/350. In the Design & Construction section the author had
information about how the layers of foam/glass/epoxy are used to build the
aircraft:

 

"Air pressure fixtures clamp the layers together during heat curing while a
thin wire mesh just beneath the skin provides lightning protection AND
ENABLES IFR CERTIFICATION, heretofore a composite bugaboo."

 

Does this mean our Velocities can't be certified for IFR flight???
