During operations outside controlled airspace at altitudes of more than 1,200 feet AGL, but less than 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum distance below clouds requirement for VFR flight at night is
A
500 feet.✓ Correct Answer
B
1,000 feet.
C
1,500 feet.
Explanation
In Class G airspace more than 1,200 feet above the surface but below 10,000 feet MSL, 14 CFR 91.155(a) requires at night 3 statute miles visibility and cloud clearance of 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above and 2,000 feet horizontal. 1,000 feet is the required distance above clouds, and 1,500 feet is not a value in the table.
