During operations outside controlled airspace at altitudes of more than 1,200 feet AGL, but less than 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum flight visibility for day VFR flight is

A

1 mile.✓ Correct Answer

B

3 miles.

C

5 miles.

Explanation

Outside controlled airspace is Class G. The 14 CFR 91.155(a) table gives, for Class G more than 1,200 feet above the surface but below 10,000 feet MSL, a day flight visibility of 1 statute mile (with 500 below, 1,000 above and 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds). 3 miles is the night value there (and the Class C, D and E value below 10,000 MSL), and 5 miles applies at or above 10,000 feet MSL.
