The minimum distance from clouds required for VFR operations on an airway below 10,000 feet MSL is. A. remain clear of clouds. B. 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally. C. 500 feet above, 1,000 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally. Multiple Choice.
1) You're overflying Northwest Florida airport at 2,500' MSL while the tower is operating. Are you in Class D airspace? Boldmethod. Boldmethod. Boldmethod. 2) You're flying in the mountains at 12,500 feet MSL, and you're 1,100 AGL in Class G airspace. What is the minimum required visibility during the day? Boldmethod. Boldmethod.
To help with that I’ve created a stripped down, mnemonic of each airspace and it’s corresponding vfr weather minimums. Actually, after looking at this I think we can make this easier: Class A – NO VFR. Class B – 3, CoC. Class C/D/E below 10K/G below 10K at night: 3, 152/s. Class G 1,200 or less day: 1, CoC.
The basic weather minimums required for you to fly VFR are stated in terms of flight visibility and distance from clouds (horizontally and vertically). For VFR operations within Class B, C, D and E surface areas around airports with an operating control tower, you require: cloud ceiling at least 1,000 feet AGL; and ground visibility at least 3
(d) Except as provided in §91.157 of this part, no person may take off or land an aircraft, or enter the traffic pattern of an airport, under VFR, with-in the lateral boundaries of the surface areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for an air-port— (1) Unless ground visibility at that
These minimums cover most Class G airspace, but are only valid during the daytime when you are within 1,200′ agl of the surface. VFR minimums at night below 10,000′ msl but higher than 1,200′ above the surface (agl), are: 3sm visibility, 1,000′ above clouds, 500′ below clouds, and at least 2,000′ horizontal from clouds.
