For operations at altitudes more than 1,200 feet AGL and at or above 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum distance above clouds for VFR is?
Correct Answer:
1000 ft
Explanation:
VFR weather minimums change with altitude to ensure pilots have enough space to see and avoid clouds. When you’re operating higher than 1,200 feet AGL and at or above 10,000 feet MSL, the cloud clearance requirement is to stay 1,000 feet away from the clouds (plus the necessary visibility, which is typically 5 miles for that high-altitude band). So the minimum distance above the cloud deck is 1,000 feet. This distance keeps you clear of cloud layers and gives you a safety margin for weather changes. The other numbers wouldn’t meet the standard cloud-clarance requirement in this altitude range.
