10
Q

Marginal Weather

A

Weather that is very close to or at minimums. Can fly, but accepting risk.

11
Q

Below Minimums

A

Weather that is UNDER weather minimums - can’t fly. Bad weather encountered enroute, divert to closest facility. #1 cause of crashes is weather.

12

    • Local - 800’ 3 miles
    • Night - 1,000’ 3 miles
13
Q

    • Night - 1,000’ 5 miles
14
Q

Visual Flight Rules (VFR)

A
  • Can fly only in weather conditions that you can see where you are flying
  • There is NO intended instrument flying under these rules
15
Q

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

A
  • The weather condition does not allow safe flight by sight alone, and the pilow must be able to use instruments to fly
