Rules of the Air
( 14 Articles )
Someday, the roads of America will be smoother. Buses and trucks will be tracked by radar and satellite. Fast cars will have their own highway. Sightseers will be able to wander wherever they want as long as they don't get in the way of commercial and fast traffic. Aviation already is enjoying this structure. Commercial and freight jets as well as faster private aircraft follow instrument flight rules (IFR) to keep them from bumping into each other. Sport, recreational, and private pilots stay out of the way and use visual flight rules (VFR). In fact, VFR pilots aren't allowed to get near some IFR aircraft until they have proper training.
