There are two primary methods of flying: visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR). VFR relies on clear skies and visual cues. IFR, used by airlines and above 18,000 feet, demands reliance on instruments. A good timer is essential for IFR. #VFR #IFR #PilotLife #Aviation #FlightRules #InstrumentFlying | Abingdon Co. | Facebook

IFR approaches utilize the ILS (instrument landing system). The ILS uses radio signals from the ground to create two "electronic beams". 1st Lieutenant Washington (12yrs) demonstrates "flying the needles" the localizer and glideslope, keeping them centered on the instrument display all the way down to the runway.🛬Aerospace Awareness Inc cadets learn to transform the act of flying in bad weather into a disciplined, precise, and safe procedure. #aviationlovers #pilotlife #FutureLeaders #pilot #Av
