	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.
		Under VFR, the pilot generally controls the attitude of the aircraft by relying on what can be seen out the window (see visual flight), although this may be supplemented by referring to the instrument panel.
		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.

	Controlled Visual Flight Rules - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Controlled Visual Flight Rules (CVFR) are a set of aviation regulations under which a pilot may operate an aircraft which are similar to Visual flight rules (VFR).
		CVFR flight is used in locations where aviation authorities have determined that VFR flight should be allowed, but that ATC separation minima and guidance are neccesary.
		In this respect, CVFR is similar to Instrument flight rules (IFR) in that ATC will give pilots headings and altitudes at which to fly, and will provide separation and conflict resolution.

	Visual Flight Rules
		Visual Flight Rules (VFR) apply when an aircraft is not being flown under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
		A pilot flying under VFR is required to stay at least a specified distance away from clouds and must stay in areas where the visibility meets minimum requirements.
		If the minimum requirements for VFR are not met, then the pilot must have an instrument rating and meet recency of experience requirements pertaining to instrument flight, the aircraft must be equipped and type-certified for instrument flight, and the flight must be flown under instrument flight rules.

		In some types of airspace, generally at extremely high altitudes, a flight must be flown under IFR regardless of the meterological conditions.
		In aviation visual meteorological conditions are those in which visual flight rules (VFR) flight is permitted - that is, those in which pilots can see so far that they dont have to rely on their instruments to fly safely.

	VFR
		VFR is the abbreviation for Visual Flight Rules, in German, as far down mentioned, the visual flight rules are called "Sichtflugregeln".
		Flight visibility is the view in flight direction from the pilot's compartment of an aircraft in the flight.
		Flight levels for the purpose of the seperation of airplanes are intended surfaces in the atmosphere, which are certain by fixed indicator values of an altimeter adjusted to 1013,2 hectopascal.

	VFR to IFR - Weather Flying Required Flight Control Instruments and Radio Aids
		In the course of this one critical decade, the 1930s, a growing number of passenger flights began to have an impact on early flying rules that often were borrowed from rules of the sea such as the seaman's General Prudential Rule.
		Instrument flight, conducted under IFR-Instrument Flight Rule conditions, meant that a plane and its pilot did not have to descend every time clouds were encountered in the sky.
		Night flight over areas with ground haze can lead to disorientation if the pilot fails to keep a respectful grasp of what his instruments are telling him or her.

		Flight is the process of flying: either movement through the air by aerodynamically generating lift or aerostatically using buoyancy, or movement beyond Earth's atmosphere by spacecraft.
		Visual flight is the control of an aircraft by using the view from the aircraft as the primary reference point.
		Early attempts at flight are the subject of much debate, both for the often sketchy details of machines and people that have vanished away in time and as a matter of pride for some given group, usually a country.

	The VFR Pilot vs. The IFR Pilot
		The captain is required to fly the Boeing under instrument rules solely by reference to the instrument panel, along the Vector 107 airway, by staying at the published altitude.
		Across the country, the airliner has been on instrument flight rules, flying a pre-arranged route at specified altitudes and enjoying radar escort services by ground controllers and direct communications on special radio frequencies warning of any potential air traffic in the craft's vicinity.
		Simple rules will decrease the workload on the private pilot, and the result will be increased compliance, reliability and safety for everyone.

	PARTNERS @ Solberg - General Aviation Info - Aviation Definitions
		VFR - Visual Flight Rules: Operating under visual flight rules, you are governed by specific regulations which include minimum cloud clearance and visibility requirements, and procedures for conducting flight under visual conditions.
		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.
		Their purpose is to provide a clear visual means to determine if you are too high, too low, or on the correct glide path.

	General Operating and Flight Rules (Part VI) - NPA Archives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Aircraft operating under the visual flight rules (VFR) are required by the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) 602.114 - Minimum Visual Meteorological Conditions for VFR Flight in Controlled Airspace and CAR 602.115 - Minimum Visual Meteorological Conditions for VFR Flight in Uncontrolled Airspace, to operate with "visual reference to the surface".
		The term "visual reference" is not defined and there have been many accidents where aircraft have crashed due to pilot disorientation caused by a lack of visual cues.
		The CARs, Part VII, Regulations for night VFR indicate that electronic means of navigation are acceptable and the terrain and wide expanses of water in Canada may make determining geographical position by reference to the surface difficult.

		There continued to be an outright ban on certain aviation activities, including flights conducted by aviation schools, traffic and news helicopters, banner-carrying planes and commercial sightseeing aircraft.
		But the vast majority of air traffic is done by pilots operating under Visual Flight Rules; VFR rules that require the pilots to avoid clouds and hazy weather and require little contact with air traffic controllers.
		Visual Flight Rules (VFR) pilots can now fly except in "enhanced" Class B airspace -- space that surrounds major airports in the 30 big cities, the FAA said.

		And with no end to the restrictions on Albert Whitted's small plane flights in sight, the debate about the airport could be sharply tilted in favor of those who would like to see the 100 acres of hangars and waterfront runways replaced by parks or development.
		Normal visual flight rules let pilots take off from Whitted and fly wherever they like without talking to air traffic controllers, unless they fly toward the large airport.
		And because instrument flight rules pilots file flight plans, controllers know where each aircraft is supposed to be going.

		The purpose of the present study was to further examine the causes of GA accidents associated with VFR flight into IMC.
		Results: Analyses of these accidents revealed that VFR flight into IMC accidents were more likely to involve less-experienced pilots and to have passengers aboard the accident aircraft compared with the other GA accidents.
		In addition, most VFR flight into IMC accidents were considered by the NTSB to have involved intentional flight into adverse weather by the pilot.

	Instrument flight rules - Unipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		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.
		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.
		Enroute flight is described by IFR charts showing navigation aids, fixes, and standard routes called airways with minimum safe altitudes for each segment.
