REFLECTOR: IFR Flight

[Grover McNair]

IFR flight plans require fixes. Generally you go from point A to point B. The plan can be direct from your departure point to the destination or there can be any number of fixes (or waypoints) along the way. I am not aware of any curved routes except a published approach utilizing a dme arc. I believe you would need fixes along the corridor to fly that route IFR. It might be possible to fly a dme arc in the corridor if there is a fix and a published procedure.

Scott,

 

The East-West corridor is not straight, requiring a continuing turn.  My moving map GPS is not IFR.  What could I use to navigate?

Hello John,

The Eglin AFB Eeast-West corridor as depicted on the sectional chart is for the benefit of aircraft operating VFR.

IFR traffic may also operate in this corridor, but they will not be using the sectional chart for navigational guidance.

Thanks.  I was wondering how I could fly IFR through the Eglin E-W corridor.  Now I see that's just for VFR traffic?

Its been my experience when flying Velocity aircraft in rain that speeds drop about 5-knots (as you described).

Pitch changes/bumps occur with convective activity.  I normally see a small pitch up when entering clouds.

When flying an IFR clearance, ATC airspace, MOA's, TFR's, and Restricted airspace are no longer factors ... fly the clearance.
