Helicopters may operate in any visibility provided they remain within 5 NM of an aerodrome Helicopters get no concession; the 5 km baseline applies to every aircraft category Helicopters may be permitted to operate in less than 1,500 m but not less than 800 m flight visibility, provided they stay clear of cloud, in sight of the surface, and manoeuvre at a speed giving adequate opportunity to see other traffic and obstacles in time to avoid collision Helicopters may enter cloud without an instrument rating provided the flight stays below 1,000 ft AGL

Helicopters may be permitted to operate in less than 1,500 m but not less than 800 m flight visibility, provided they stay clear of cloud, in sight of the surface, and manoeuvre at a speed giving adequate opportunity to see other traffic and obstacles in time to avoid collision
