Is it legal to fly a DA20 on an IFR flight plan? The airplane has all the required IFR instruments, but lacks the IFR certification because of the lack of lightning protection. I did some searching here and found an old thread that mentioned a reference to FAA Order 8700.1 that says that it can be done. However, on the FAA's website, this order has been canceled. Is there a newer FAA Order that addresses this issue? Or, is it just illegal now?

Thanks in advance for your help.
