An airplane pilot flies at night in Class G airspace at 1,000 feet AGL. What are the weather minimums?

  1. 1 statute mile of visibility; clear of clouds
  2. 3 statute miles of visibility; clear of clouds
  3. 3 statute miles of visibility; 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds
  4. 1 statute mile of visibility; 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal from any clouds
Show answer

Correct answer: 3 statute miles of visibility; 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds

At night in Class G, 1,200 feet AGL or less, an airplane needs 3 miles and the full cloud clearance.
