IFR stands for Instrument Flight Rules and is a set of regulations and procedures that outline how pilots must operate an aircraft when visual flight rules isn’t an option or when you choose the IFR system for safety or convenience. IFR is predominantly used when visibility is limited by clouds, fog, heavy rain, night, or higher altitudes.
Chris caught the aviation bug at the age of seven when he was able to sit in the cockpit of a 737 between flights, thanks to his aunt working at a large airline. Countless balsa wood flyers and multi-stage rockets later, he enrolled in the Aviation Technology Program at the University of Cincinnati and successfully turned a fascination into a career. “One of my most memorable flights was flying my dad to a local airport with a restaurant just off the ramp known for their generously portioned ribs. I’ll never forget that day with passenger #1.” As the Director of Search Marketing at Sporty’s, Chris is tasked with managing online advertising and search engine optimization but he still loves to search for new products.
