Altimeter: Shows the altitude of the aircraft above a designated reference point, essential for flight level assignment and terrain clearance. Attitude Indicator (Artificial Horizon): Shows the orientation (pitch and bank) of the aircraft relative to the horizon of the Earth, essential for instrument meteorological conditions flight.

In contrast to a control tower, an FSS is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances to aircraft. They are configurable systems but typically report parameters including barometric pressure, wind speed, temperature, visibility conditions, and precipitation, among others.

His friend helped the pilot with his flight clearance and reviewed how to fly through Class C airspace, since his route took him directly over Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (KMHT) in New Hampshire. The CFI returned home, called KPVD clearance delivery to make sure it had departed OK, and settled in to monitor his friend on FlightAware.

Can the airplane fly on an IFR clearance? 91.205 implies it can, but does the VFR-only in the AFM prohibit IFR flight or only flight in Instrument Meteorological Conditions? If operated in IMC on and IFR-clearance with the AFM VFR-only restriction, what regulation has been violated? Citations, please.

From flight planning, I knew that we would experience rain, instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), and darkness. Mitigating factors included no risk of convection (thunderstorms) or icing at our cruise altitude of 5,000 feet and VFR conditions expected to prevail at Saratoga Springs for our landing.
