Under instrument conditions, a section of ____ aircraft is the maximum number authorized in any one flight.

Under instrument conditions, pilots rely on instruments rather than visual cues, which increases workload to maintain precise spacing, altitude, and speed. A section is defined as two aircraft, and this pairing is the size that can be reliably managed within instrument flight rules. Therefore, the maximum number of aircraft in any one flight for a section is two. If more aircraft are needed, they are organized into additional sections rather than expanding a single section, keeping each section limited to two for safety and control.
