V – VOR Check If you’re flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), your VOR navigation equipment must be tested every 30 days. T – Transponder Check Your transponder, which helps air traffic control see your airplane on radar, needs to be inspected every 24 months. Basically, nothing is overlooked.

Lets say youre cruising at 10,000 feet when Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructs you to “squawk 1200.” Mode A sends squawk codes, Mode C adds altitude, and Mode S transmits detailed flight data. The transponder is the airborne portion of the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS).

These services include traffic advisories and sequencing of arrivals and departures for aircraft operating under both Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Visual Flight Rules (VFR). In a TRSA, air traffic controllers offer two main services: radar traffic advisories and sequencing.

An Instrument Rating is an FAA certification that allows you to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Youll learn how to navigate, communicate with Air Traffic Control, interpret weather, and conduct instrument approaches to airports, all without relying on whats outside your window.

In the journey to becoming a skilled pilot, understanding the distinctions between Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) is pivotal. These two sets of regulations govern aircraft operation under different conditions, playing a crucial role in flight training.

FAA Federal Aviation Administration The FAA is the US federal government agency in charge of aviation standards, air traffic control, airspace safety, and the certification of personnel and aircraft. Then that is BVLOS, even if the drone is just 100 feet away. The list of accepted MOCs is available at the FAA website.

Also, none of the online Air Traffic Control (ATC) networks (like VATSIM ) work with the Xbox. This makes visual flight rules (VFR) flying much easier and a whole lot more fun. But youll need a powerful computer to run the VR headset with a flight simulator.
