IFRVFRuppgifter

IFR/VFR uppgifter refers to the set of information that supports flight planning and operations under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Visual Flight Rules (VFR). In practice it encompasses data about airspace, procedures, weather, navigation, and communications that pilots and air traffic controllers rely on regardless of whether a flight is conducted primarily by instruments or by visual reference. The term is commonly used in aviation communities and is associated with official publications and services that deliver aeronautical information.

The scope of IFR/VFR uppgifter includes airspace structure and classifications, route options, minimum altitudes or flight levels, navigation aids and procedures, radio frequencies and communication procedures, and required equipment. It also covers weather information relevant to flight planning, such as forecasts and current observations, and the minimums and safety rules applicable to IFR and VFR operations, including visibility and cloud clearance criteria for VFR and instrument approach procedures for IFR. In addition, it often includes references to standard operating procedures, emergency procedures, and restrictions or special use airspaces.

Publication and access typically occur through national aeronautical information services, such as the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), NOTAMs, and weather services (METAR/TAF). These data are distributed by national authorities and are made available to pilots, flight planners, and aviation authorities through official portals, charts, and digital applications.

IFR/VFR uppgifter are essential for safe and compliant flight planning, helping ensure that flights meet applicable rules, avoid conflicts, and have access to the necessary navigation and communications infrastructure.
