Visual Flight Rules (VFR)


Means the weather conditions are good
enough for the aircraft to be operated by
visual reference to the ground.
In VFR conditions, there is no “ on route
traffic control” and aircraft are allowed to
fly on a “see & be seen” principle.
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)


Conditions prevails when the visibility or
the ceiling falls below those prescribed
for flight under visual flight rules.
Essentially these rules require the
assignment of specific altitude and
routes and minimum separation of
aircraft at the same altitude and flying in
the same direction.




Defined parked path for taxiing aircraft to

Object is to provide access to the aircraft
for runway to Terminal areas & service
hangers in such a way that aircraft that
just landed don’t interfere with the
