In Class G airspace, what is the minimum flight visibility required during the day?

In Class G airspace during the day, the minimum flight visibility required is indeed 1 statute mile (SM) with a requirement to remain clear of clouds. This standard supports the safe operation of aircraft in uncontrolled airspace, where pilots must primarily rely on visual references for navigation and collision avoidance due to the lack of air traffic control services.

In this context, the visibility and cloud clearances are designed to ensure that pilots can see and avoid obstacles as well as other aircraft. A visibility of 1 SM is sufficient for pilots to maintain situational awareness and avoid potential in-flight hazards during daylight hours.

Daytime operations in Class G airspace have specific visual requirements to enhance safety, distinguishing them from nighttime operations, which impose stricter visibility and cloud clearance criteria. Therefore, the choice indicating 1 SM clear of clouds aligns with the Federal Aviation Regulations for visual flight rules (VFR) in Class G airspace during the day.
