IFR
-rules governing procedures for conducting !!! holder shall not act as either PIC/co-pilot
instrument flight of an A/C under IFR unless holder has
! Below VFR minimums received proper authorization
-when pilot is unable to navigate using visual ^proper authorization = IR approp to A/C
references categ
-ICAO: made set of rules governing the
conduct of flight under IMC
ATC Clearance
Advantages: -an authorization to proceed under a specified set
of conditions w/in controlled airspace
-Enhance skill @ precisely controlling the
A/C
-means by w/c ATC exercises its responsibility
-improves ability to operate in complex ATC to provide separation between a/c
system
-increases confidence level !! there are points to consider whether
compliance will cause you to break rules, like:
IMC ~being vectored to clouds when operating under
-in terms of visibility, distance from clouds, VFR
and ceiling less than minimums specified ~emergency
for VMC ~in response to a traffic alert & collision
!! w/ these, you would know if you are okay avoidance system
!! don’t always rely on the ATC
to land or not, to abort the flight or not. To
deviate from current course or not
