The basic VFR minimum visibility at night for Class G, E, D, and C airspace below 10,000 feet MSL is 3 statute miles. An exception to that minimum is when below 1,200 feet above the surface and the visibility is at least 1 but less than 3 statute miles. in Class G airspace clear of clouds when operating in an airport traffic pattern within 1/2 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. § 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General. § 91.121 Altimeter settings. § 91.123 Compliance with ATC clearances and instructions. § 91.125 ATC light signals. § 91.126 Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class G airspace. § 91.127 Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class E airspace. § 91.129 Operations in Class D The Visual Flight Rules Guide (VFRG) helps pilots prepare, plan and fly safely under the visual flight rules. The guide explains the rules in plain English and by using practical information and examples. If you use this guide, you will be meeting the general operating and flight rules. This guide does not replace the regulations or other IFR stands for ‘instrument flight rules’. The aircraft is flown using the instruments with no visual references to the outside world. Visual flight rules, or ‘VFR’, refer to flying using primarily visual references. The pilot will still use the instruments to relay certain information, such as altitude and airspeed. A. the airspace designation normally will not change. B. the airspace remains Class D airspace as long as a weather observer or automated weather system is available. C. The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation. C. 9 9-37 3788. 13.03 A low level airway is Class E airspace. VFR traffic does not need to contact the controller, or be on frequency, but ATC service is provided to IFR traffic. As it is controlled airspace, you require controlled airspace weather minima. Another place you find Class E airspace is in a Class D control zone, after the tower closes for the night. Mar 13, 2011. #4. Gary F said: So in class C,D or E you really need 1,500 foot ceiling to fly in the pattern at the typical legal pattern altitude. The regs list a minimum 1,000 foot ceiling for VFR but that would require flying the pattern at 500 feet which does not make sense. cfgiY.
