The 14 CFR 91.155(a) table requires 5 statute miles of flight visibility in Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet MSL, with 1,000 feet above and below and 1 statute mile horizontal from clouds. 3 statute miles applies below 10,000 feet MSL, and 1 statute mile belongs to Class G at low altitude; visibility is expressed in statute miles, not nautical miles.
