Hi Wesjon
We have spoken to both the BMAA and the LAA regarding this and both are taking a light touch on PilotAware as it is a safety device. I have given two seminars to the LAA inspectors on the installation of PilotAware in LAA aircraft and will be doing more this year. The Chief inspector Ken Cragie has said that if good engineering practises are carried out then there is no Mod Fee for installing PilotAware, but get your inspector to look it over.
The BMAA are taking a similar line. However the best thing to do is get in touch with the inspector of your licensing organisation either BMAA or LAA. The installation notes for a permanent installation can be found at

When you have done it why not post some pictures so that others with Icarus aircraft can see what you have done.
Cheers
Keith
