There is nothing as much fun as an unskilled in the discipline person
speak authoritatively. All of this wisdom comes to us from someone
who has never had the visceral sensation of feeling the control
pressures lessen in slow flight or the sensation at the break of a
full stall. Or for that matter tries to tell us his experiment with a
high altitude simulated flight without flight planning in a 172
is somehow definitive.

Opps -- it WAS definitive, but the definition had everything to do
with the poster, not the simulation.

The Instrument Procedures Handbook does not address Visual Flight Rules.

But it does explain airways and the type of terrain and obstacle clearance
they provide (because this is very important for IFR flight).

Essentially, if you correctly fly along an airway, you can be assured of a
certain margin of clearance over obstacles and terrain. That's one of the
reasons for having airways in the first place.
