	The Instrument Rating
		Along with new maneuvers go new regulations governing instrument flight rules that must be learned in along with flying.
		The same place you got your initial private license, almost all flight schools, big or small, can provide the instruction and the properly equipped aircraft for flight under instrument flight rules.
		Instrument training and flying is considered one of the most challenging but yet most rewarding phases of your flight training.

	Visual flight rules - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Visual flight rules (VFR) are a set of aviation regulations under which a pilot may operate an aircraft, if weather conditions are sufficient to allow the pilot to visually control the aircraft's attitude, navigate, and maintain separation with obstacles such as terrain and other aircraft.
		If they are not met then the flight must be flown under instrument flight rules (IFR), the pilot must have an instrument rating and meet recency of experience requirements pertaining to instrument flight, and the aircraft must be equipped and type-certified for instrument flight.
		In some types of airspace, generally at higher altitudes, a flight must be flown under IFR regardless of the meterological conditions, as aircraft fly at high speeds at higher altitudes and the "see and avoid" method of avoiding conflicting traffic is less successful.

	IFR
		Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) allow an aircraft to be flown in weather conditions that do not meet the minimum requirements for Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
		IFR flights can also be conducted when conditions are good enough for VFR.
		IFR is also the usual abbreviation for in-flight refueling.

	General Aviation Flying - Air Traffic Control - Flight Plans - Transponders
		Flight plans are not required for flights conducted under visual flight rules (VFR), in which pilots navigate using references on the ground.
		However, IFR flight plans are used by air traffic control (ATC) to reserve the time and location of use for any airspace needed by the aircraft operating under IFR.
		In case of radio failure during the IFR flight, pilots will follow the exact route in the IFR clearance, and ATC will anticipate their path, altitudes, and times along the route based upon a combination of the IFR flight plan and the IFR clearance issued by ATC to the pilot.

	PARTNERS @ Solberg - General Aviation Info - Aviation Definitions
		IFR - Instrument Flight Rules: When you are operating under instrument flight rules, you can fly in the clouds with no reference to the ground or horizon.
		This information can be accessed by pilots during their flight planning to be aware of the local weather conditions at their destination airport or at an enroute airport before they depart on their flight.
		A non precision instrument runway is used with an instrument approach that does not have an electronic glide slope for approach glide path information.

	cars - Instrument flight rules
		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, and in many cases, the pilot will be controlling the aircraft primarily by outside visual references, as with VFR.

		The most important concept of IFR flying is that it allows continued flight operations in reduced visibility, during which time the ability of a pilot to physically see and avoid collision with other aircraft or obstacles is severely reduced, or even impossible.
		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.
		All instrument approaches have minimum altitudes: if it is not possible to complete a landing visually from the specified altitude (decision height) and location, the pilot must commence a missed approach and return to en route flight.

		Pilots who choose to proceed to the instrument procedure fix via a route that is off an airway, air route or transition are responsible for maintaining the appropriate obstacle clearance, complying with noise abatement procedures and remaining clear of Class F airspace.
		Pilots operating aircraft under IFR into an uncontrolled aerodrome in uncontrolled airspace when the weather conditions at the aerodrome could permit VFR circuit operations are expected to approach and land on the active runway that may be established by the aircraft operating in the VFR circuit.
		Circling is the term used to describe an IFR procedure that is conducted by visually manuvring an aircraft, after completing an instrument approach, into position for landing on a runway which is not suitably located for a straight-in landing (not usually applicable to rotorcraft).

	EPA: Federal Register: Special Operating Rules for the Conduct of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Area Navigation (RNAV) ...
		In addition, instrument flight rules (IFR) area navigation (RNAV) procedures are being introduced that enable participants to conduct IFR operations on published routes, improving overall safety and capacity.
		Section 91.711(c)(1)(ii) requires foreign civil aircraft operating within the United States and conducting IFR operations to be equipped with radio navigational equipment appropriate to the navigational signals to be used and does not accommodate the use of RNAV systems for instrument flight rules operations.
		However, if an agency determines that a proposed or final rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, section 605(b) of the RFA provides that the head of the agency may so certify and a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.

		Flight simulators have the ability to chart your course, simulate en-route and landing wind conditions, as well as simulate light to severe turbulence.
		Most of your flight training will be done in VFR conditions, while you are under the hood or foggles (a device that will obscure your vision outside of the aircraft).
		Also, as your instrument flight training begins and you are familiar with approaches, you can use this other pilot as a "safety pilot" thus reducing the cost of having a flight instructor on board.
