VFR or Visual Flight Rules means you generally have good visibility and are in a certain range of altitudes. You basically fly using what you see (and of course navaids and charts).
IFR or Instrument Flight Rules are used at certain altitudes, with certain types of aircraft and under certain kinds of visibility. Under IFR, you fly by using navaids, charts and instruments. Oftentimes you'll have zero visibility but IFR lets you fly in these assuming you're IFR certified.

What is the blue dash arrows on the VFR terminal area chart?
IFR departure routes
What is a vfr hold line?
The VFR hold line is the line on the taxi way which vehicles are not allowed to cross without permission from ATC, during VFR weather conditions. The counterpart is the IFR hold line, which serves the same purposes but during IFR weather. In most places there will simply be a "hold line" which serves as the hold line during both VFR and IFR conditions.... but in situations where an aircraft waiting at the hold line may interfere with ground-based radio signals (such as an ILS approach signal) an IFR hold line may be positioned farther back from the runway to reduce this risk.

What are the minimum requirements for airplane operations under Special VFR in Class D airspace at night?

What does IFR stand for private pilot?
Instrument Flight Rules, compared to VFR (Visual Flight Rules), is a form of flying. This is more restricted than VFR because the tower (or radar) will tell you what to do, mostly controlling what you are allowed to do. VFR is a different way of flying (lower altitudes) that combines talking to the tower and looking at references on the ground to fly to a destination.
What is the difference between VFR and VNC charts?
visual navigation chart = VNC is the Canadian VFR charts - VFR means Visual Flight Rules. They do the same job by showing key visual route points like roads rivers mountains that a pilot uses instead of instruments like GPS. VFR was the original and only way pilots could get between and b.
What is the difference between US IFR and Canada IFR charts?
The layout is basically the same. This is because pilots from all over the world need to interact with Departure and Arrivals chart instruction and routes plus airport requirements.
