The list of inspections gets longer if the aircraft is for compensation/for hire, or if flown under instrument flight rules (IFR). There are a few exceptions when the aircraft can be flown outside of this timeframe, such as when a special flight permit is issued. There are also required inspections for civil aircraft.

Aeronautical experience in the regulations does not require that you have any actual instrument flight time to obtain your instrument rating. That’s correct, you can earn your instrument rating with flight time only in simulated conditions.

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. Requesting flight following from approach or center controllers is just as easy.

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). For example, the FAA modified SFO’s Class B to provide more room for VFR aircraft under terminal arrivals.

Military Operations Area Military Operation Areas (MOA) , are segments of airspace defined by vertical and lateral limits used to segregate military training activities from aircraft operating under instrument flight rules. VOR, you must complete a special awareness training program and hold a certificate of training completion.

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.

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. An autopilot and Aspen primary flight display reduce workload on long flights. It’s used by aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR – flying in the clouds).
