VFR Weather Minimums, FAR 91.155

Rules of thumb:

   o Usually 3-152’s
         – 3 s.m., 500’ below, 1000’ above, 2000’ horiz
   o Exceptions to 3-152’s
         – Class A: IFR only
         – Class B: 3 statute miles, clear of clouds
         – Class E (above 10,000’): F-111
         – Class G (day): 1 statute mile, clear of clouds
         – Special VFR: 1 s.m., clear of clouds
         – Helicopter in class E - fly at a speed to see and avoid IFR conditions

Why do we care about this?
  • VFR pilots:  this guides all of our flying.
  • IFR pilots:  when you cancel IFR, you are subject to this FAR.
