Say I want to fly off-airways (both Victor airways and T routes) for my IFR flight, direct to my destination in the US. How do I know what my off-route altitude should be so I can file for that? I...
This applies equally to IFR and VFR flightplans, to big passenger jets and small one-person GA aircraft. If the destination airport — any airport of any size — has an operating control tower at the time of arrival, they will close your flight plan.
For IFR flight, the following instruments and equipment are required: (1) Instruments and equipment specified in paragraph (b) of this section, and, for night flight, instruments and equipment specified in paragraph (c) of this section. (2) Two-way radio communication and navigation equipment suitable for the route to be flown.
I am evaluating an aircraft for use under IFR. I want to know if the GPS that is installed is acceptable for use under IFR. I have access to the logbooks and documentation. I want to check: That...
IFR (Instrument Flying Rules) is a set of rules, procedures, and regulations governing the flight of aircraft solely with reference to flight instruments instead of the ground. You can fly IFR in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) or in VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions). IMC would preclude referencing the horizon.
0 I found an excellent article about it at IFR Magazine. Basically, to qualify as an alternate airport, the alternate must have certain forecast weather conditions (600-2 for precision approach, 800-2 for non-precision.) These are the "alternate minimums". However, those are just the default values.
You cannot fly in IMC in any airspace without an IFR rating. What qualifies as IFR changes with the airspace according to the VFR rules. G just has the most relaxed conditions. Usually flying at minimums at low altitude is called "scud running" and greatly reduces your lifespan.
Am I now able to act as PIC for an IFR flight on July 2nd? Because in the six calender months preceding the month of the flight (January-June, the six moths preceding July) I don't have 6 instrument approaches.
I'm doing my IFR flight plan. So I have my magnetic course but I need to get my magnetic heading. I'm assuming I just need to put in the wind correction angle to get it. In my electronic E6B howeve...
IFR approved airplanes require a sensitive altimeter and not just a plain altimeter. When you look at FAA FAR 91.205 you will see a distinction between altimeter for DAY VFR and a sensitive altimeter for IFR. A sensitive altimeter has a Kollsman window and you can adjust the altitude for the current altimeter setting. Once the altimeter setting is set in, the altimeter must read with ±75 of ...
