Buster IMC as explained, VFR is the other which is Visual Flight Rules, as in you can see the ground. |
In addition to cloud / visibility requirements, SERA only requires a pilot to be in sight of the surface to fly under VFR below 3000ft amsl…. Currently the MilAIP hasn't been updated to current criteria though.
You can fly under VFR above 8/8 cloud at greater heights, provided that you maintain the required minimum separation from cloud and flight visibility requirements appropriate to the airspace category and altitude / FL. IFR is available whether flying in VMC or IMC; however, it is mandatory in IMC. VFR is only available in VMC. |

With ONE aircraft they couldn’t even claim to be a Flying Club!!! PS. it’s “Finnish” with 2x “n” |
BEagle - SERA not applicable as military use RA2307? https://assets.publishing.service.go...07_Issue_8.pdf The same applies for the Air Nav Order under Article 249 in that: It is lawful for the Rules of the Air, or for any obligation in SERA the breach of which would otherwise be an offence under this Order, to be departed from by an aircraft of which the pilot in command is acting as such in the course of the pilot in command’s duty as a member of any of Her Majesty’s naval, military or air forces. So SERA does not apply :ok: |

Timelord,
Tornado GR4 in Afghanistan, and strafe as well as low level show of force, far more impressive, noisy and shocking than a Harrier! Typhoon and Tornado GR4 in Syria/Iraq currently. It's all on the MoD website on a daily basis of sorties, weapons used and effect achieved, go look for yourself rather than carping on about it never happening. |
Fascinating and something there for CGI film makers, bullets don't fly straight or arrive in a straight line.
What was the ECO fail message? |

Do you really believe that ONE borrowed aircraft from Sweden compares to the Royal Air Force (22,000 aircraft, 300,000 officers and men in November 1918)? Further that the RAF cannot claim to be the world’s first independent air force when it was officially formed on 1st April 1918 because it was beaten to it by twenty-five days by the Finnish Air Force with one borrowed aeroplane!?? With ONE aircraft they couldn’t even claim to be a Flying Club!!! PS. it’s “Finnish” with 2x “n” MOD PR is a bit like the gospels, scripted by people who weren't there and who have a vested interest in painting a good, if incomplete picture . |
Lima Juliet, not quite...
Read para 40 of RA2307(1) and compare it with the relevant section of the MilAIP. I've pointed this out to AIDU and was assured that the error will be corrected shortly; eventually the MilAIP will feature as a subset of the UK Civil IAIP. |

In this case was it significant? Certainly didn't stop the 'show of force'. Not bad for one cannon. As an aside, I watched a qualification practice on the range. It was pretty close to end of twilight when she finished (either way) and we could barely see the jet. Very impressive. |

NutLoose,
But it iS on the news, that's where this particular member of Joe Public saw it, on Sky and BBC News with footage of Akrotiri. It might not be on every day but maybe that's because it IS happening virtually every day so it isn't actually news? |

Thank you, different meaning in years gone by.
