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.

T – Transponder Check Your transponder, which helps air traffic control see your airplane on radar, needs to be inspected every 24 months. Without this, you can’t fly in most controlled airspace. For instance, the transponder check is for clear communication with air traffic control.

Essentially, IFR certification enables pilots to safely operate their aircraft in conditions where flying under VFR (Visual Flight Rules) would be impossible. At Leopard Aviation, we understand how vital this certification is, not only for the safety of flights but also for providing operational flexibility.

Air traffic controllers, flight crews, and other personnel should deploy their own initiatives to improve operations and make them more sustainable. We value aviation sustainability and want our students committed to a future where air travel isn’t as harmful to the environment.

You’ll need to obtain a private pilot license, which certifies that you know the basic operations and principles of safe flight. One of the great things about obtaining a PPL is that you can fly pretty much anywhere outside of restricted airspace, as long as it’s under visual flight rules (VFR) conditions.

Last-minute flight plan changes may be done via Eurocontrol while you’re on the ground. At Athens (LGAV) , Air Traffic Control (ATC) will provide directions on where to land and taxi. It’s important to remember that all IFR flight plans need to be filed via Eurocontrol.

An IFR flight plan is similar to a roadmap through the clouds. The flight plan informs the Air Traffic Control (ATC) of your planned course, aircraft capability, and contingency plan. Unlike Visual Flight Rules (VFR), filing an IFR flight plan is mandatory for all IFR flights.
