IFR Flight Planning
What is IFR flight planning?
IFR is used when the conditions in which an aircraft will be flying are not deemed to be safe enough to rely on visual clues alone but will depend upon the use of electronic signals for navigation and certain instruments within the flight deck. It is usual to rely on IFR flight planning during darkness or poor weather conditions. If we want to put IFRinto context then it is a good idea to understand the basics of VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight planning. VFR flight planning is the name given to flights where the pilot is wholly reliant upon visual signs with regards to the safe navigation of the aircraft. VFR is far simpler than IFR in that the pilot may use his or her own judgment with regards to obstacles, height and cloud ceiling, whereas IFR requires a much more technical standpoint and also some extremely specialist training.
IFR flight planning, separation and clearance
The distance between any aircraft and any obstacles which it may encounter during a flight is termed the "separation" and this is a very important factor in IFR flight planning. The separation must be maintained no matter what the weather conditions. Air Traffic Control maintains a close eye on any aircraft which is in controlled airspace to ensure that IFR aircraft are maintaining separation. This is done via clearance which involves looking closely at the routes of particular aircraft as well as the speed and height at which they are travelling. Air Traffic Control manages this by keeping tabs on IFR aircraft with the use of radar equipment. In some cases, an aircraft may be out of range of radar and it is then that a pilot must keep in contact with air traffic control via radio transmissions where aircraft position reports are given. During any IFR flight an aircraft in controlled airspace needs to receive clearance for each new part of the flight, as fresh clearance is given by Air Traffic Control, the pilot will also receive notification of how far they may fly before a new clearance is necessary. A clearance will also usually offer a route to follow as well as an altitude.
IFR flight planning and safety
Although the rules of IFR flight planning are stringent, the ultimate responsibility for an aircraft will always rest upon the shoulders of the pilot. If the pilot of an IFR flight decides that even though clearance has been given it would be unwise of him to accept it, he has every right to refuse clearance and will in some cases do so. It is important to remember that although IFR flight planning is the ultimate in a safely planned journey, there can be no substitute for human judgement in some cases and this is why it is understood that a pilot must always have the final say.

Why a Keyboard Case is Apt for Professional Digital Keyboards?
A Keyboard case is required if you have bought yourself a professional music keyboard, and intend to travel a lot with your gear for performing onstage.
The keyboard case needs to offer the best possible protection to your music keyboard, since you will be travelling so much with your gear.
A Keyboard case has to be strongly built, but at the same time has to be lightweight. Irrespective of your model of travelling, the shell of the case has to be strong so that it can withstand shocks and rough handling while you are travelling.
The latches also need to be strong and need to work well over a longer period of time, and the puzzle inside the case has to be thick enough to give adequate cushioning to your keyboard.
It also has to be sensibly priced and should be able to last many years. The handles, latches, and wheels should all work well together even after a long time and after being subjected to a lot of ill-usage.
Some of the keyboards can be very heavy, for instance a Kurzweil PC-88MX can weigh almost 50-pounds. So ensure the case you buy is of the right dimension for your music keyboard.
If the keyboard case is not strong enough, it will not be able to handle the weight of the music keyboard. There is always a chance of the handle pulling-off so please check the specifications of the case before you decide on a particular make.
If you think the weight is really a concern then you may even think of building yourself a custom keyboard case, and the price does not increase much. Gator and SKB are the two major manufacturers of Keyboard case.
If you invest so much money in a professional keyboard, it definitely makes sense to provide it the best protection and invest in a high-quality Keyboard case.
