2011年12月2日 · To me, flying VFR versus IFR in VMC at night is not very different. I always use VFR flight following, and my instrument scan VFR at night is no different than IFR night. I'm looking for traffic either way. The only difference is the routing, and the …

2015年2月5日 · Yep, that's the answer sorry if I read too fast. The key thing is to realize how different a thing a VFR versus IFR flight plan is. A VFR flight plan's only purpose is search and rescue for the most part... And key to understand that flight service and atc are almost totally separate... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2022年8月30日 · Under IFR, there should only be one aircraft — on an IFR flight plan. The problem is marginal weather where VFR aircraft and IFR ones may differ about what is the safest way to operate their aircraft. An IFR pilot may choose to circle at circling minimums, for example, in a way opposite of a VFR aircraft practicing landings.

2015年6月11日 · One advantage of Garmin pilot is that you don't need an advanced subscription to get geo-refrenced maps. This means everything except for taxi diagrams and approach charts for ifr. So $75 can get you geo-refrenced vfr charts, …

2013年1月13日 · Here is a question I thought about for awhile but never gotten any clarification on it. For the pilots who fly under IFR on VFR days, do you actually fly under IFR on instruments just like you would be flying in IFR weather or could …

2008年3月6日 · Rather than hijack the Gaston's web site thread, I'm gonna start a new one... Spike, just curious why you wouldn't file for a flight like this. I pretty much always file, so I'm just trying to learn how/why others approach things differently. …

2023年12月8日 · not unless you insist that you have ROW over VFR traffic by being on the IFR approach (but not on an IFR flight plan). I think the best of these practice approach calls don't stand out because you can't tell they're anything beyond a position report: - "Piper 3XY 10 miles NW at 3,000 maneuvering to join the pattern."

2011年10月21日 · There is no priority given IFR traffic versus VFR traffic in terms of sequencing, but the guidance to controllers does tell them it's "first come, first served" among IFR traffic. IOW, if a 172 is going to reach the IAF first, the controller doesn't break off the 172 to hold and allow a 757 behind the 172 to fly the approach first.

2010年1月1日 · I'm playing with Garmin Pilot 5.0 which arrived today with an impressive array of new features, not the least of which are the new vector-based VFR and IFR charts. I could definitely see gravitating to these...sort of the same "look" you'd have on a GTN 750 display. Lots of other little enhancements. Very impressive update.

2005年2月23日 · Happens sometimes when descending into a VFR destination at or near a Class B/C. Staying on FF while exercising your VFR options is occasionally useful. This was actually a fun finish to a trip with the last leg flown VFR but with plenty of help from the good folks at RDU (which was closed for 45 minutes). Flying home into 8NC8 from KILM
