Visual Flight Rules (VFR) are a set of regulations under which a pilot operates an aircraft in weather conditions generally clear enough to allow the pilot to see where the aircraft is going. Essentially, it allows pilots to operate the aircraft with visual references outside the cockpit.

Challenger 604, G-IV Contributing Writer Honeywell Primus Epic F ederal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 91.205 prescribes the minimum instruments and equipment necessary for flight. Technically, even a cockpit lighting rheostat qualifies as avionics, but pilots typically associate the term with advanced technology.

The other uses a much older instrumentthe human eyeball, otherwise known as flying visually. In this article, we will look at both methods as we discuss IFR vs. VFR flight. VFR is short for visual flight rules, meaning the pilot primarily controls and navigates the aircraft using outside visual references.

Better stick-and-rudder control, smoother handling, and more exact navigation, even during VFR flights. Understand and Use Modern Avionics Todays cockpits are more technologically advanced than ever. Many pilots say they become significantly better and more polished aviators after IFR trainingeven if they rarely fly in IMC.

Or perhaps you’re designing a fully-fledged cockpit that rivals real-world flight training rigs. No matter the complexity, every flight sim setup has these three fundamental elements: The System The Simulator The Peripherals The System The system refers to the computer hardware that runs the simulator software.

With IFR certification, pilots are able to navigate solely by reference to aircraft instruments, rather than relying on visual cues outside the cockpit. Essentially, IFR certification enables pilots to safely operate their aircraft in conditions where flying under VFR (Visual Flight Rules) would be impossible.

A safety pilot is a licensed pilot who acts as an extra pair of eyes and ears in the cockpit. Theyre there to ensure safety when another pilots vision is restricted, like when youre in a simulated instrument flight. If youre asking these questions, youre on the right track. For now, lets break things down one step at a time.
