FAQs

What are the two primary sets of rules pilots operate under, and how are they combined with airspace rules?

Pilots operate under two primary sets of rules: instrument flight rules (IFR) and visual flight rules (VFR). The excerpt presents combinations involving IFR and Part 121 rules, VFR and IFR, and VFR with part 141 flight rules.

Which airspace type is VFR flight prohibited in, according to the questions?

The excerpt asks which type of airspace prohibits VFR flight, offering Class A, Class B, and Class C as options.

What minimum visibility and cloud clearance conditions apply for VFR flight operations above 10,000 feet MSL and more than 1,200 feet AGL?

The excerpt provides multiple-choice options for the minimum horizontal distance from clouds and the minimum vertical distances above and below clouds for VFR operations in that regime, including choices such as 1,000 feet, 2,000 feet, and 1 mile.
