visual flight rules

Visual Flight Rules (VFR) are a set of regulations that pilots follow to operate an aircraft when weather conditions allow good visibility. Under VFR, pilots navigate primarily by sight, using landmarks, the horizon, and instruments to maintain safe separation from other aircraft and obstacles. These rules are used in clear weather with adequate daylight, visibility, and cloud clearance, ensuring pilots can see and avoid hazards visually. When conditions deteriorate, pilots must switch to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and rely on instruments for navigation and control. VFR helps ensure safe and efficient flights in suitable weather.
