During operations within controlled airspace at altitudes of less than 1,200 feet AGL, the minimum horizontal distance from clouds requirement for VFR flight is
A
1,000 feet.
B
1,500 feet.
C
2,000 feet.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
In controlled airspace (Class C, D or E below 10,000 feet MSL) the cloud clearance is 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above and 2,000 feet horizontal, regardless of height above the ground, so the horizontal requirement is 2,000 feet. 1,000 and 1,500 feet are not horizontal VFR clearances.
