b. U.S. military standard instrument approach procedures are approved and published by the Department of Defense. 

c. Special instrument approach procedures are approved by the FAA for individual operators but are not published in 14 CFR Part 97 for public use. 

(See ICAO term INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE.) 

INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE [ICAO]- A series of predetermined maneuvers by reference to flight instruments with specified protection from obstacles from the initial approach fix, or where applicable, from the beginning of a defined arrival route to a point from which a landing can be completed and thereafter, if a landing is not completed, to a position at which holding or en route obstacle clearance criteria apply. 

(See ICAO term INSTRUMENT APPROACH OPERATIONS) 

INSTRUMENT APPROACH PROCEDURE CHARTS- 

(See AERONAUTICAL CHART.) 

INSTRUMENT DEPARTURE PROCEDURE (DP)- A preplanned instrument flight rule (IFR) departure procedure published for pilot use, in graphic or textual format, that provides obstruction clearance from the terminal area to the appropriate en route structure. There are two types of DP, Obstacle Departure Procedure (ODP), printed either textually or graphically, and, Standard Instrument Departure (SID), which is always printed graphically.

INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES (IFR)- Rules governing the procedures for conducting instrument 

flight. Also a term used by pilots and controllers to indicate type of flight plan.

INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES [ICAO]- A set of rules governing the conduct of flight under instrument meteorological conditions. 

INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS)- A precision instrument approach system which normal- ly consists of the following electronic components and visual aids: 

a. Localizer. 

(See LOCALIZER.) 

b. Glideslope. 

(See GLIDESLOPE.) 

c. Outer Marker.

INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDI- TIONS (IMC)- Meteorological conditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance from cloud, and ceiling less than the minima specified for visual meteorolog- ical conditions. 

(See INSTRUMENT FLIGHT RULES.) 

(See VISUAL FLIGHT RULES.) 

(See VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.) 

INSTRUMENT RUNWAY- A runway equipped with electronic and visual navigation aids for which a precision or nonprecision approach procedure having straight-in landing minimums has been approved. 

(See ICAO term INSTRUMENT RUNWAY.) 

INSTRUMENT RUNWAY [ICAO]- One of the following types of runways intended for the operation of aircraft using instrument approach procedures:
