conditions. the weather conditions that are equal to or grater than minimum VFR requirement. In
addition, it is used by pilots and controllers to indicate type of flight plan. ( Jeppesen Instrument
Commercial, page 1-11)
VMC (Visual Meteorogical Condition) are meteorogical conditions expressed in terms of visibility,
distance from cloud, and ceiling equal to or better than specified minima. ( Jeppesen Instrument
Commercial, page 1-11)
Clear of clouds
Clear of clouds
Basic VFR Weather minimum (CASR 91.155)
IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) are rules governing the procedures for conducting instrument flight.
This is also a term used by pilot and controller to indicate type of flight plan. The ICAO defines IFR as
a set of rules governing the conduct of flight under instrument meteorological conditions. ( Jeppesen
Instrument Commercial, page 1-11)
IMC (Instrument Meteorogical Condition) are meteorogical conditions expressed in terms of visibility,
distance from cloud, and ceiling less than the minima specified for visual meteorogical conditions.

MORA & GRID MORA
1. MORA's give at least 1,000' altitude clearance above terrain, and 2,000' in
mountainous (elevation 5,000'+) terrain.
Route MORAs provided an obstacle clearance within 10 nautical miles (19 km) on
both sides of the airways and within a 10-nautical-mile (19 km) radius around the
ends of the airways.
2. Grid MORAs provide an obstacle clearance altitude within a latitude and longitude
grid block, usually of one degree by one degree. They are presented in feet (ft),
omitting the last two figures. Example: 7,600 feet is given as 76.
Grid MORA values clear all terrain and obstructions by 1000 feet in areas where the
highest elevations are 5000 feet MSL or lower. MORA values clear all terrain by 2000
feet in areas where the highest elevations are 5001 feet MSL or higher.
Minimum enroute altitude,[2] is the lowest published altitude between radio navigation
fixes that assures acceptable navigational signal coverage (see MRA) and meets obstacle
clearance requirements (see MOCA) between those fixes.
The fix and/or waypoint located on the final approach course of an instrument approach
procedure prior to the point of the glide-path intercept on a precision approach procedure;
prior to the final approach fix on a nonprecision approach procedure that has a designated
final approach fix; prior to any stepdown fixes on a non-precision approach procedure with
designated fixes but no final approach fix; or at a point that would permit a normal landing
approach on a nonprecision approach procedure with no final approach fix or stepdown
fixes. It is a fix from which the final IFR (instrument flight rules) approach to an airport is
executed and which identifies the beginning of the final approach segment. An FAF is
indicated on the charts. A Maltese Cross symbol is used for non-precision approaches, and
the lightning bolt symbol is used for precision approaches. When ATC (air traffic control)
directs a lower-than-published glide-slope or -path-intercept altitude, it is the resultant
actual point of the path or path intercept. Also called a centerline fix.
