This VFR Flight Guide (VFG) has been designedprimarily for VFRpilots in
domestic operations.Material relating to commercial operations has therefore
been omitted unless it contributes to the understanding of a particular topic.
For ease of understanding, thewording has beenmodified considerably from
that of the source documents. Since the precisewordingof a regulation
may be required by some readers, appropriate references to the source
documents have been provided throughout the textwhere appropriate.
A section is included for helicopter pilots that explains differences between
fixedwing and rotarywing operations. ANight Visual Flight Rules (NVFR)
section is also included for appropriately rated pilots.
This version of the guide incorporates changes resulting fromGAAP toClass
D towers, and changes at non-towered aerodromes relating to radio and
operational procedures.
