IFR versus VFR flying

Overview and Differences between VFR and IFR in aviation

Visual Flight Rules (VFR) refer to a set of regulations under which a pilot operates an aircraft in weather conditions generally clear enough for the pilot to see where the aircraft is going. On the other hand, Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are the set of regulations that govern aircraft operations when the pilot is unable to navigate with visual reference to the ground.
