Air Traffic Control and IFR Clearances

Navigating in the national airspace system under IFR requires pilots to understand the way Air Traffic Control manages traffic and the way an IFR Flight Plan is processed. This also requires pilots to understand the elements of an IFR Clearance and all the factors that come into play in the different phases of flight. In this course, we will explain to you how pilots can safely fly under IFR, and at the same time, we will help you visualize how the IFR system works.

Objectives
