What minimum visibility and clearance from clouds are required for VFR operations in Class G airspace at 700 feet AGL or below during daylight hours?
A
1 mile visibility and clear of clouds.✓ Correct Answer
B
1 mile visibility, 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal clearance from clouds.
C
3 miles visibility and clear of clouds.
Explanation
In Class G airspace at 1,200 feet or less above the surface during the day, 14 CFR 91.155(a) requires 1 statute mile of flight visibility and clear of clouds, so at 700 feet AGL that is the minimum. The 500/1,000/2,000-foot cloud clearances apply at night or in controlled airspace, and 3 miles is the Class E value.
