IFR, or Instrument Flight Rules, is a method of flying while weather minimums are below that of VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and should be used when outside references and landmarks are unusable, typically due to low lying clouds or rain. With the help of Air Traffic Control and instruments in the aircraft’s cockpit, Duke Life Flight has the ability to safely fly IFR for certain missions. Here’s a peek of some recent IFR flying! | Duke Life Flight

Cleared to continue under visual flight rules, the pilot of N9815L inadvertently entered instrument conditions, quickly losing spatial awareness and entering a severe spin. With visibility gone and orientation compromised, the situation escalated rapidly. Steady, precise instructions from air traffic control helped the pilot regain control, exit the spin, and return for a safe landing. #Pilotlife #pilotsoftiktok #planes #planetok #planesoftiktok #atctower | FlightDrama
