VFR or Visual Flight Rules means you generally have good visibility and are in a certain range of altitudes. You basically fly using what you see (and of course navaids and charts). IFR or Instrument Flight Rules are used at certain altitudes, with certain types of aircraft and under certain kinds of visibility. Under IFR, you fly by using navaids, charts and instruments. Oftentimes you'll have zero visibility but IFR lets you fly in these assuming you're IFR certified.
Use IFR plan or your visual flight rules
Consider the navigation tutorials. They cover IFR (instrument flight rules) and vfr (visual flight rules). Youll learn about reading charts, setting way points in the gps , setting your afd radio, using NDB,s. Vor etc
Depends on how it is being used. Could be international finance reporting or in aviation it stands for instrument flight rules meaning in bad weather they are required to use instruments instead of visual reference.
If you are flying directly from Miami to Norfolk, and you are planning to fly at 10,500 feet, you would typically file an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) flight plan. This is because flying at that altitude would require you to adhere to air traffic control instructions and use onboard instruments for navigation. A DVFR (Defense Visual Flight Rules) flight plan would not be necessary in this scenario.
Air traffic control is responsible for safely separating aircraft. Air traffic controllers separate traffic in and around larger airports as well as any aircraft flying IFR (Instrument flight rules).
During IFR flight, ATC will dictate cruising altitude.
Instrument Flight Rules, compared to VFR (Visual Flight Rules), is a form of flying. This is more restricted than VFR because the tower (or radar) will tell you what to do, mostly controlling what you are allowed to do. VFR is a different way of flying (lower altitudes) that combines talking to the tower and looking at references on the ground to fly to a destination.
The pilot should file a IFR flight plan and be ready for a rough ride.
IFR stands for International Financial Reporting.
Yes, Aircraft can fly below, in, or above the clouds. There are special qualifications and rules that apply. Some clouds are low, some are higher. The aircraft must be capable of climbing to an altitude that will get them above the clouds. Most small single engine airplanes have a 'ceiling' of less than 15,00 feet, larger singles about 25,000 feet and jets around 40,000 feet. So the ability depends on the height of the clouds and the capability of the airplane. Flying in, through, or even very close to the clouds requires special training and aircraft capabilities. This is referred to in aviation as "Instrument Flight Rules" (IFR), as opposed to the other type of flight where only visual reference outside the airplane is used "Visual Flight Rules" (VFR).
