Is it possible to switch from VFR to IFR and back?

No, you get the command prompt, and then type in "format C"

That won't work.

You need to use FDISK to remove the partition virus.

OK. I have only had to format one NT based machines, unlike the older stuff.

I haven't had instrument training. The FAA book I found on IFR seems
to be more of a promotional book explaining how wonderfully the FAA
has organized air traffic control, and at least the parts I've read
thus far don't really explain IFR flight.

That is probably because the book is designed as supplement to IFR
training, and not as a substitute for it.

Mxsmanic,

switch to IFR in flight,


Yes. Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+I for that.

If I am instrument rated and my aircraft is fully equipped for
instrument flight, and I start out a flight with a VFR flight plan,
and it gets foggy enough that I'm below minimums, is there a way to
switch to IFR in flight, or do I have to have filed IFR from the
beginning? If it's possible in flight, how does it work? Is it
possible to later switch back again?

Now that's funny.

This is called "popping-up".
That means that IMC conditions may pop up at any time.
However if the pilot is not IR rated, and/or the aircraft is not IFR
certified, the weather conditions are required to revert to VMC.

I don't think that is quite the definition of "popping up", or a "pop
up clearance". Althoug it's kinda, sorta, in the neighborhood, more or
less. A pop up has little if any thing to do with conditions and a
lot to do with a pilot taking off and then air filing. He "pops up"




Tough to make a joke around here!!
Check again - are you -SURE- this is not the correct definition of
"popping-up"?

IMC - instrument meteorological conditions
IFR - instrument flight rules
IR - instrument rating

Weather is IMC
A pilot is Instrument Rated (IR)
FAA rules of flight are either IFR or VFR

try /dev/null

You be and are subject to both IFR and VFR when flying in
VMC [not Vmc] and you are expected to do both at the same
time in many cases.
