18 gru 2021 · VFR is short for ‘visual flight rules’, meaning the pilot primarily controls and navigates the aircraft using outside visual references. IFR stands for ‘instrument flight rules’. The aircraft is flown using only the instruments with no visual references to the outside world.
Flight in Class A airspace requires pilots and aircraft to be instrument equipped and rated and to be operating under instrument flight rules (IFR). In many countries commercial airliners and their pilots must operate under IFR as the majority of flights enter Class A airspace.
What does VFR and IFR stand for in flying? VFR means visual flight rules, while IFR means Instrument Flight Rules. While many different types of flights occur under these two rules, every aircraft that leaves the ground will fall into one, or both, of these categories, during the flight.
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are rules which allow properly equipped aircraft to be flown under instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). IFR are detailed in ICAO Annex 2: Rules of the Air, Chapter 5: Instrument Flight Rules.
