Instrument Flight Rules (‘IFR’), simply put, covers flying without visual references outside of the cockpit through the usage of various navigational aids, such as TACAN & GPS. This week’s training session will be a focused exercise on IFR operations nearest the airfield, meaning takeoffs and landings in low-visibility conditions.
Aircraft not capable of IFR operations are recommended to organise their own training on the secondary server due to the weather and lightning conditions.
Agenda
- How to aviate and navigate using solely the instruments. We’ll cover the generics that apply to all aircraft. We will not cover aircraft specific topics. Make sure you understand how to operate all necessary equipment (radios, TACAN, ILS etc) beforehand
- How to read and interpret STAR and SID charts for airfield departures or landings.
- Radials & DME
The event will begin with a quick theoretical session on IFR. This is not mandatory, and meant for those who are uncertain of the basics, such as interpreting an SID/STAR chart. The “usual” briefing will commence at 19:30.
Unless otherwise requested, all aircraft will remain in controlled airspace, flying a route assigned by ATC. This route is meant to practice basic instrument flying. If you wish to practice on your own, say so when checking in.
