Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
In real life VFR you have to submit a flight plan unless if you are flying in uncontrolled airspace. In IVAO all the times.
VFR stands for Visual Flight Rules. The pilot must fly and navigate With visual reference and can use NavAids, there are certain weather criteria that must be met for a VFR flight to take place.
VFR flights are not permitted in Class A airspace, so there are no criteria.
There is no Class B airspace within the OEJD, so we will not explain the criteria.
VFR Flight in Class C, Class D and Class E airspace:
At or above FL100:
- 1,500 metres horizontally away from cloud
- 1,000ft vertically away from cloud
- In flight visibility of at least 8km
Below FL100:
- 1,500 metres horizontally away from cloud
- 1,000ft vertically away from cloud
- In flight visibility of at least 5km
An aircraft is deemed to have complied with the below FL100 restrictions if the aircraft is not a helicopter and:
- it flies at or below 3,000ft amsl
- it flies at a speed which is 140KIAS or less
- remains clear of cloud, with the surface in sight and an in flight visibility of at least 5km
If it is a helicopter, it is deemed to have complied with the below FL100 restrictions if:
- it flies at or below 3,000ft amsl
- it remains clear of cloud, with the surface in sight and an in flight visibility of at least 1,500 metre

In real life you should file a flight plan before starting an IFR flight There is no altitude limit to fly IFR.
IFR means that you fly and navigate to your destination by means of Navigational aids such as VOR beacons, NDB Beacons and Intersections.
If your flight commences outside controlled airspace (see airway charts) you do not need clearance to operate.
however you must request an information service from an ATC unit and remain outside controlled airspace until cleared to enter.
