  Instrument flight rules - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instrument flight rules (IFR) is a set of regulations and procedures for flying aircraft without the assumption that pilots will be able to see and avoid obstacles, terrain, and other air traffic; it is an alternative to visual flight rules (VFR), where the pilot is primarily or exclusively responsible for see-and-avoid.
One advantage of IFR is the ability to fly an aircraft in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), weather conditions that do not meet the minimum visibility requirements for VFR.
It is important, however, not to confuse IFR with IMC: the vast majority of IFR flying is done under visual meteorological conditions (VMC), and in many cases, the pilot will be controlling the aircraft primarily by outside visual references, as with VFR.

 ANL-W History - Reactors (IFR)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
From its beginning, the IFR program had one overriding goal: To produce an improved nuclear reactor and fuel cycle technology that would be directly responsive to public and business concerns about future reliance on nuclear energy.
Although an IFR reactor plant has yet to be built, the EBR-II served as an IFR prototype for many years.
The IFR's passive safety was demonstrated in 1986 in the IFR prototype, EBR-II.

IFR departure procedures assist pilots conducting IFR flight in avoiding obstacles during climbout to the minimum enroute altitude.
IFR departure procedures may be published in several ways: "see and avoid" weather minimums, minimum climb gradients, detailed departure instructions, or a combination of all three.
Most IFR departure procedures contain nonstandard weather minimums which are used by civil pilots to "see and avoid" obstacles in lieu of meeting a published climb gradient.

 SimPlates IFR Approach Plates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Furthermore, while IFR approaches generally don't change that much, the period in between SP2000 and SP2004 was somewhat exceptional in that quite a number of new approaches were comissioned, mostly due to the advent of GPS and other advanced navigation technologies.
IFR plates are so "information dense" that it doesn't really make sense to view them on screen while sim-flying.
However, if you are a serious simulation enthusiast, or an instrument rating (IFR) student pilot who uses a PC-based simulator to supplement his flight-instructor led training, SimPlates, priced very competitively, will make for a great alternative to buying and dealing with approach plates--especially if you'd like to simulate flying an approach across the country.

 Jogin.com :: IFR Bug
However, as I began experimenting with IFR, made known by and named after Shaun Inman, I soon realized that it has a bug, or, rather, isn't as functional as I'd like it to be.
Because it wraps all replaced elements in a div-element, div-elements cannot be replaced, because that puts a loop out of synch with the elements it's supposed to replace, which confuses the script and causes a rather weird and unwanted behaviour.
Here's an example of IFR in action, where h1-elements are being replaced with Flash.

Therefore, identifying accident causes in general aviation might be instructive for pilots, allowing them to avoid the various traps.
Thus, we undertook a study to determine the various causes of fatal general aviation accidents for Cessna 172 and 182 aircraft involving pilots with a private pilot rating (VFR) with, or without, an additional instrument rating (IFR).
However, their IFR-rated counterparts might have avoided these accidents by requesting a “pop-up” IFR clearance upon confronting such weather.
