  1. Air Law 1.02 VFR Flight Conditions References: FTGU page 115 Canadian Aviation Regulations

  2. 1.02 VFR Flight Conditions • MTPs: • Terminology • Minimum Visual Meteorological Conditions for VFR Flight in Controlled Airspace • Minimum Visual Meteorological Conditions for VFR Flight in Uncontrolled Airspace • Day VFR instruments

  3. Terminology • Visual Flight Rules (VFR): • The rules which apply when flying by means of visual reference to the ground

  4. Terminology • Instrument Flight Rules (IFR): • The rules which apply when flying by means of reference to the instruments in the cockpit

  5. Terminology • Special VFR Rules (SVFR): • The rules for operating in weather conditions that are less than VFR within a control zone where some aircraft are permitted flight under visual flight rules

  6. Terminology • Visibility • The ability, as determined by atmospheric conditions and expressed in units of distance, to see and identify prominent unlighted objects by day and prominent lighted objects by night

  7. Ceiling • The lowest height at which a broken or overcast condition exists; or…

  8. Ceiling • The vertical visibility when an obscured condition such as snow, smoke, or fog exists (500’ in this example)

  9. Terminology • Flight Visibility • The average range of visibility at any given time forward from the cockpit of an aircraft in flight • Ground Visibility • The visibility at an aerodrome as contained in a weather observation reported by: ATC unit, FSS, AWOS

  10. Terminology • Day or Daylight • TC definition: the time between the beginning of morning civil twilight and the end of evening civil twilight • Night • TC definition: the time between the end of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight

  13. Minimum VFR Conditions

  14. Minimum VFR Conditions • Memory Tool (For daytime) – just remember the numbers • 3 1 5 : In a control zone • 3sm visibility, 1sm from cloud, 500’ above/below cloud • 1 2 5 : Uncontrolled Above 1000’ • 1sm visibility, 2000’ from cloud, 500’ above/below cloud • 2 C : Uncontrolled Below 1000’ • 2sm visibility, remain clear of cloud

  15. VFR Instruments • No person shall operate a glider in day VFR flight unless it is equipped with: • Altimeter • Airspeed indicator • Magnetic compass or magnetic direction indicator • Two-way radio with selectable frequency (if in controlled airspace)
