Study Notes
VFR Weather Triangle
- A system used to determine visibility and cloud clearance requirements for Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
Class A
- VFR operations are prohibited in Class A airspace.
Class B (Below 10,000' MSL)
- Minimum visibility required: 3 statute miles (SM).
- Pilot must be clear of all clouds.
Class E - Above 10,000 ft
- Minimum visibility required: 5 statute miles (SM).
- Must maintain specific cloud clearance:
- 1,000 feet below clouds
- 1,000 feet above clouds
- 1 statute mile horizontal from clouds.
Class C, D, E (Below 10,000' MSL)
- Minimum visibility required: 3 statute miles (SM).
- Required cloud clearance:
- 500 feet below clouds
- 1,000 feet above clouds
- 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds.
Class G Night (Above 1,200 AGL; Below 10,000)
- Minimum visibility required: 3 statute miles (SM).
- Required cloud clearance:
- 1,000 feet above clouds
- 500 feet below clouds
- 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds.
Class G Day (Above 1,200 AGL; Below 10,000)
