Hey guys, what's going on here?
I just had a look at the Canadian CAR's because I thought they can't be that unclear. It's all there laid out for you! Unfortunately, in SA we have to hunt around our poorly worded legislation.
Definitions follow:
"IFR" - means instrument flight rules; (IFR)
"IFR air traffic control message" - means a message that contains an air traffic control clearance or instruction, a position report or procedure related to the conduct of an IFR flight; (message IFR du contrôle de la circulation aérienne)
"IFR aircraft" - means an aircraft operating in IFR flight; (aéronef IFR)
"IFR flight" - means a flight conducted in accordance with the instrument flight rules; (vol IFR)
So there we have it, couldn't be much clearer. Check out division VII and there you have the rules. Fly in accordance with the rules and it is an IFR flight.
Geez! And I've never been to Canada. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing!
Hope that clears it up for you Smurfjet.
