Hi,

I used to know some of the rules but...

Where can I find a list of all the IF and VF rules?

Thanks,

Joe

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Just a guess but I would think that any pilot service company would have them. Have you looked in the articles of FS2004 I know they have a lot of info there, they might have this as well.
You might want to try searching for them with your favorite search engine. 8)

Skittles I just looked up VFR flight rules and basicaly
VFR is when the celing is above 1,000 feet and visability is more than three miles. Any thing less is IFR but you can fly IFR on A clear day unlimited celing and unlimited visability. Of course you have to be IFR rated to fly IFR.
In the real world it takes at least 40 hours of flight just to get a private pilots ticket Then you have to get an IFR rating Not sure if there is a minimum of hours for this you have to take a test then fly a ifr flight plan in order to get a IFR rating.

Yeah, all my other searches came up with the same things but I eventually found what I was looking for at the following link...

Thanks Andrew for the guidance. Didn't even think of looking there Roll Eyes

It discusses specific requirements pilots are to adhear to while in VFR and IFR and every other situation. Very useful!!!

Thanks to all for your responses Grin

Actually, it varies with different airspace. In some airspaces you can fly VFR with only a mile of visibility, in others you need atleast 5 miles Wink

Check your regs Wink
