What action should a VFR pilot take if unable to escape IFR conditions?
What action should a VFR pilot take if unable to escape IFR conditions? Quickly the aircraft is in a pilot induced spiral that often ends in disaster. So in the event that you inadvertently enter IFR conditions, take a deep breath and roll into a shallow turn, approximately 15 to 20 degrees of bank and complete approximately a 180 degree turn.
What response is expected when ATC issues an IFR clearance to pilots?
When ATC issues an IFR clearance to pilots of airborne aircraft, pilots must respond by reading back those parts containing altitude assignments or vectors and any part requiring verification. This is mandatory.
Why do pilots prefer IFR over VFR?
Why Do Pilots Prefer IFR Over VFR? IFR provides pilots with greater flexibility when it comes to controlled airspace, weather conditions, and career opportunities.
Can VFR pilots fly at night?
In some countries, VFR flight is permitted at night, and is known as night VFR. This is generally permitted only under more restrictive conditions, such as maintaining minimum safe altitudes, and may require additional training as a pilot at night may not be able to see and avoid obstacles.
