Default Minimum rates of climb/descent for VFR

Not to get into the whole parsing argument but for the subset of flight
known as VFR, there are no climb and descent rules that apply only to VFR
flight. *The rules about airspace and operating limits apply to both VFR and
IFR flights.


Except when ascent or descent involves separation maybe?

Cheers



No there are no regulations for climb or descent rates for VFR flight.


Err I don't think that's 100% correct but it will do for MX.

Cheers

You can't descend or climb faster than the speed of sound over most land.
Damn.
