The above posting is not correct. IFR planes have a unique box *only*
against other IFR traffic -- VFR traffic is not mentioned. That is why
you *have* to keep a lookout for traffic when you are under IFR.


Er... what do you mean by "keep a lookout for traffic under IFR"?
Lookout on the radar, surely??

You're confusing Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) with Instrument Meteorological
Conditions (IMC). Regardless if the flight is IFR or VFR, when you are in
VMC, you must see and avoid other aircraft (and other flying things as well...)
