The AI is particularly effective during Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight, where the outside horizon may not be available. A standard rate turn is at 3 degrees per second and is the preferred rate of turn during Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations. vertical speed), and airspeed.

The list of inspections gets longer if the aircraft is for compensation/for hire, or if flown under instrument flight rules (IFR). It’s the responsibility of the pilot-in-command (PIC) to confirm that the inspections have been performed and the aircraft airworthy before conducting a flight.

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).

This is a general aviation term that also applies to drone flight. IFR Instrument Flight Rules IFR is the set of rules that allow pilots to fly by reference to instruments in the flight deck when flying by visual reference is not safe.

Keeping jet traffic safe alongside slower general aviation aircraft is harder still. Class B airspace is also charted on VFR Sectionals and instrument flight rules (IFR) Enroute Low Altitude charts. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS).

This article is a companion to Flying the Grand Canyon , which details the special rules and procedures for flying a small aircraft over one of America’s national treasures. I’m not Lindbergh… This trip was ambitious for me, but quite common in the general aviation community.

IFR vs VFR Radio Calls Different flight rules have different radio calls. When starting out, you will fly under visual flight rules (VFR). Instrument flight rules flying (IFR) is more procedural, meaning more radio calls. We’re at the general aviation ramp with Information Alpha.
