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

Greg,

I cannot let go of the yolk that long!!


Ah, the yolk. And then there'S the egg white to take care of, too. ;-)


You do not appear to be aware that aircraft have only yolks, and not
whites. I know this because I have designed many planes - but it still
makes a mess if you let go of it!

I guess the yoke is on you?
Yoke of oxen, heard of cows? Did you here about the quality
public educational system? Me neither.

Oh, come on! The Cirrus is all white, and has no yolk. Just because I
use a floppy drive doesn't mean I'm not up on the latest aviation
technology!

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Viagra will cure a floppy drive.

Ahh, so _THAT'S_ what they mean when they say you keep arguing with Manic

Tough to make a joke around here!!

I got it: "...weather conditions are required to revert to VMC."

Personally, I use the weather pull down on the Reality Menu.

(Although the pronunciation of those pairings are supposed to be

Still not a complete list. :-)

Roger, this was posted by the simulator troll. He has no clue about anything,
let-alone instrument ratings!

Ahhh...Thank you. I don't see those postings, but I see some of the
other replies and when there is a bit too much enthusiasm in trimming
I don't see the history.

Even the sim groups are getting exasperated.

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.

Try "The Instrument Flying Handbook", it's ~ $14US @ amazon.com.

While you're at it, pick up "The Airplane Flying Handbook."

"Real" (and student) pilots may want to do the same. Both books are
chock full of good info, without the extra BS and gloss found in
commercial products, like the $80 Jeppesen hardcover text books.

These are available for free from the FAA web site. Here is the
Airplane Flying Handbook:

http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aircraft/airplane_handbook

and here is the Instrument Flying Handbook:

http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/instrument_flying_handbook

Also, here's the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge:

True. I was merely pointing out definitions and usage of the
acronyms.
