SIDs are published flight routes designed to safely transition aircraft from the airport to the enroute phase of their journey. Understanding these procedures is essential for pilots flying under IFR ( Instrument Flight Rules ) to maintain organized, safe, and efficient air traffic.

Rehearse ATC Interactions Have a flight instructor or fellow student pilot act as ATC while you “chair fly.” Practice requesting and receiving clearances. Before you request your first clearance, follow these inflight tips. First, be mentally prepared for the clearance. They will make talking to ATC as smooth as possible.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Class B airspace is also charted on VFR Sectionals and instrument flight rules (IFR) Enroute Low Altitude charts. If you’re flying under IFR, you don’t need an explicit Bravo clearance. What is Class B Airspace?

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. It added less than 10 minutes to the overall flight time. Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in the gloom.

Flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) can, at times, feel like deciphering a complicated puzzle, especially when you’re staring at an approach chart filled with intricate details. Flying at MSA guarantees at least 1,000 feet of obstacle clearance. MSAs are used in emergencies.

Before RNAV, pilots had to rely on radios (NAVAIDs) and antennas on the ground such as VORs (Very High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and NDBs (Non-Directional Beacons). Theyre especially useful for airports that dont have the budget or suitable terrain to install an Instrument Landing System (ILS). Dont confuse it with LPV.

Instrument flying is all about mentally staying ahead of the aircraft. The approach procedure is often the most complicated part of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. Does the approach match the clearance? Set the ILS, LOC, or VOR frequency required for the approach on your navigation radio.
