There are two primary methods of flying: visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR). VFR relies on clear skies and visual cues. IFR, used by airlines and above 18,000 feet, demands reliance on instruments. A good timer is essential for IFR. #VFR #IFR #PilotLife #Aviation #FlightRules #InstrumentFlying | Abingdon Co. | Facebook

It’s probably not what you think! Visual approaches are by far the most common type of approach you will fly in IFR operations, yet most new instrument pilots have not received any training and don’t understand exactly what it means. They’re simple, but you do need to be aware of a few things, so do some thorough research and go practice a few with your instructor! Oh, and don’t fly visual approaches at night!

IFR approaches utilize the ILS (instrument landing system). The ILS uses radio signals from the ground to create two "electronic beams". 1st Lieutenant Washington (12yrs) demonstrates "flying the needles" the localizer and glideslope, keeping them centered on the instrument display all the way down to the runway.🛬Aerospace Awareness Inc cadets learn to transform the act of flying in bad weather into a disciplined, precise, and safe procedure. #aviationlovers #pilotlife #FutureLeaders #pilot #Av
