Flying VFR in Marginal Weather (Practical Flying Series)

Hardcover. Laminated boards. Zustand: FINE! AVIATION -3rd Edition. pp. 206 illusts. #251225A VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight isÂwhen a pilot flies an aircraft by visually navigating using landmarks and the ground, requiring good weather (Visual Meteorological Conditions or VMC) for "see and avoid" separation from terrain and other planes, unlike IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) where pilots rely on instruments and Air Traffic Control in any weather.ÂVFR flights offer more freedom but demand excellent visibility, and pilots must maintain minimum altitudes, typically 1,000 feet above obstacles or people, with specific rules varying by country and airspace.ÂÂKey Aspects of VFR Flight: Visual Navigation:ÂPilots use their eyes to follow roads, rivers, or other landmarks. "See & Avoid":ÂThe pilot is responsible for spotting and avoiding other aircraft and obstacles. Weather Dependent:ÂCan only operate in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) â" good visibility, clear of clouds. Aircraft Type:ÂCommon for small, private planes and helicopters.ÂVFR vs. IFR (Instrument Flight Rules): VFR:ÂVisual, clear weather needed, pilot-focused see-and-avoid. IFR:ÂInstrument-based, allows flying in poor weather (IMC), relies on Air Traffic Control (ATC).ÂRules & Requirements: Minimum Heights:ÂGenerally 1,000 ft above people/obstacles in populated areas, with specific distance rules (e.g., 1000ft/300m radius). Airspace:ÂVFR flights have limitations in controlled airspace, requiring adherence to specific VMC and equipment standards. Planning:ÂPilots must plan for alternates if weather deteriorates, with sufficient fuel.ÂIn essence, VFR is flying "by the seat of your pants" in good conditions, while IFR is flying "by the instruments" in all conditions, with ATC guidance. Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
