Instrument Flight Procedures IFPs

An Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) for a runway consists of detailed guidelines and protocols that assist pilots in safely navigating an aircraft during critical phases such as arrival, departure, and approach, specifically under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). These procedures ensure safety and accuracy in operations when visibility is compromised, enabling reliance on navigational instruments instead of visual references. They typically include specific altitudes, waypoints, and headings, facilitating efficient and secure flight operations in challenging weather conditions.
