| Type of Traffic Permitted - IFR/VFR | Indication if IFR and/or VFR flights are permitted at the aerodrome/heliport | AirportHeliport.availability.AirportHeliportAvailability.usage.AirportHeliportUsage .selection.ConditionCombination.flight.FlightCharacteristic.rule | The ARINC 424 Airport Record (PA) contains a field named "IFR Capability". The IFR Capability field indicates if the Airport/Heliport has any published Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP). The assumption is made that for an AirportHeliport IFR traffic is permitted also IAP are published. If no IFR procedure is published it is considered to be a VFR airport. |
