    Visual flight rules (VFR) require pilots to only fly when weather conditions allow clear visibility of the surrounding area so the pilot can navigate using visual references to the ground and see other aircraft. Specifically, VFR has minimum weather standards for visibility and distance from clouds that must be met, otherwise pilots must use instrument flight rules which allow flying in low visibility conditions by relying on aircraft instruments instead of visual cues.

    In 

    aviation, visual flight rules (VFR) are a set of regulations under which a pilot operates


    an aircraft in weather conditions generally clear enough to allow the pilot to see where the aircraft
    is going. Specifically, the weather must be better than basic VFR weather minima, i.e., in visual
    meteorological conditions (VMC), as specified in the rules of the relevant aviation authority. The
    pilot must be able to operate the aircraft with visual reference to the ground, and by visually
    avoiding obstructions and other aircraft.[1]
    If the weather is less than VMC, pilots are required to use instrument flight rules, and operation of
    the aircraft will be prima
