Normal VFR operations in Class D airspace with an operating control tower require the ceiling and visibility to be at least
A
1,000 feet and 1 mile.
B
1,000 feet and 3 miles.✓ Correct Answer
C
2,500 feet and 3 miles.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.155(c) and (d) prohibit VFR operations beneath the ceiling within the surface area of Class D airspace when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet or the ground visibility is less than 3 statute miles, unless under special VFR. 1 mile is the special VFR visibility, and 2,500 feet is not a basic VFR ceiling.
