Of course, as others here will probably mention, it is incorrect to add
adjectives and qualifications to the acronyms VFR and IFR. These, as Peter states, are two different sets of operating rules, and it must always be perfectly clear which one applies at any moment in flying. It's one or the other - no "marginal" "low" or anything else. The acronyms used to describe conditions (as opposed to flight rules) are VMC and IMC, visual or instrument Meteorological Conditions. The only exception is SVFR - for "Special" VFR, which is correct because it actualy refers to a specific set of operating rules for pilots and controlers. All of us probably confuse and abuse sometimes, and it's no crime to say conditions are VFR, IFR or marginal VFR - but in practice there is no room for ambiguity. We're expected to know the rules and adhere to them. G Faris |
