IFR Ferry trip to Hungary

is a PPL pilot with an RT certificate qualified for IFR communication?

Depends on the kind of radio operator certificate he/she has.

But quite obviously, without an IFR certified GPS (which per definition has to be built-in, not portable) there is no practicable way of doing this flight under IFR.

All you need is one day with good weather, this is not a complex trip… when I read “ferry trip” I expect something like London to Johannesburg or San Francisco to Paris. It’s just a nice flight with a VFR aircraft.

There’s a story on the web Link of somebody crossing the Atlantic from the US to Botswana in a C150. The GS to the Azores was an eye-watering 95 kts. That’s as much ferry flying as it gets …

May have been posted before but this pair flew a Super Cub from Oregon to Kenya

…80 knots is typically a good block speed for the PA18 type – more HP is a bit like the Jet Provost – constant thrust variable noise.

Yes he/she is. There is just one FRTOL in the UK. There are 3 in Germany/Austria hence the question.
