   16. COLOR OF AIRCRAFT                     CIVIL AIRCRAFT PILOTS, FAR 91 requires you file an IFR flight plan to operate under instrument flight rules in
                                             controlled airspace. Failure to file could result in a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each violation (Section 901 of the
                                             Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended). Filing of a VFR flight plan is recommended as a good operating practice. See also
                                             Part 99 for requirements concerning DVFR flight plans.
