VFR Weather Minimums It can be tough to keep all of the different requirements straight when it comes to visual flight rules (VFR) weather minimums. Each class of airspace has its own rules, and sometimes the rules change for night vs. day flying. You don’t need a full sim to practice using VORs, though.

They try to make the underlying airspace easily navigable by visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft. If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). This effectively limits traffic in Class B to 250 knots due to 14 CFR § 91.117(a). Equipment Requirements A two-way radio.
