Talk:Instrument rating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] IFR outside controlled airspace
"[The IMC Rating] does not confer the privileges of a full Instrument Rating, but allows flight in IMC outside controlled airspace, IFR flight in class D and E airspace (IFR flight outside controlled airspace requiring no qualification)..."
This seems at least misleading, and at best actually wrong; IFR flight outside controlled airspace does, as I understand it, need either an IMC rating or a full Instrument Rating, as a non-instrument-qualified pilot must, by definition, remain VFR at all costs. Am I misunderstanding this? --Chrisd87 14:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
