IFR ? -- Doesn't that mean

" I Follow Railroad Tracks? "

Actually my real question as an avionics technician and not a pilot is
out in the wide open spaces in the USA where people like veterinarians
use small planes to reach farms in a large area they cover.
Is it legal to land a small plane on a completely vacant of traffic
country road ? And legal or not do they do it anyway ?


Please send a copy of the answer to me also at

Thank You

My wife is from Nevada. I have used the highway into town as a runway
many times, parked next to the Bar at the edge of town. The road is
perfectly straight for about 7 or 8 miles, and it is easy to check for
vehicular traffic. There are no power lines or cross traffic for over thirty
miles. I've talked with the local sheriff, and he has no problem as long as
resonable safety precautions are used. The bar owner thought having an
airplane outside was an attraction.
