    The answer can be found in Order 8900.1, Volume 5, Chapter 2, Section 9, Paragraph 5-439.  Go to web site fsims.faa.gov.  Enter “Instrument Practical” in the search box.  Scroll to paragraph 5-439.
    If properly equipped, the airplanes you mention can be flown under IFR.  They can be used to teach instrument flying.  They can be used for the practical test.  The only thing you may not do is fly in IMC.
     
    You can fly under Instrument Flight Rules, just not in the clouds, if the airplane is not properly certified.
