[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_flight_rules '''IFR'''] are applicable when [[VFR]] is not allowed. The weather or meteorological conditions when [[IFR]] is required is defined in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_meteorological_conditions Instrument meteorological conditions ('''IMC''')]. Navigation is based on [[radio beacons]] and most often a pre-approved flight plan is required. The pilot must be certified to apply IFR. All scheduled commercial flights operate exclusively under IFR. | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_flight_rules '''IFR'''] are applicable when [[VFR]] is not allowed.

==Vertical separation== | |||
When flying [[VFR]] and above 3000 feet [[AGL]] | |||
*on a magnetic track 0...179 fly at odd 1000 and 500 | |||
*on a magnetic track 180...259 fly at even 1000 and 500 | |||
When flying [[IFR]] and above 3000 feet [[AGL]] | |||
*on a magnetic track 0...179 fly at odd 1000 | |||
*on a magnetic track of 180...359 fly an even 1000 | |||
so, | |||
:3000 = IFR 0...179 | |||
:3500 = VFR 0...179 | |||
:4000 = IFR 180...359 | |||
:4500 = VFR 180...359 | |||
:5000 = IFR 0...179 | |||
:etc | |||
